Yaacov Agam, world-renowned kinetic artist and member of the Park West Gallery family of artists for over 30 years, designed a Chanukah Menorah certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the World’s Largest. It can be found at New York’s most fashionable plaza, Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, by Central Park, between the Plaza and the Pierre Hotels.
The creation of the Menorah was sponsored by the Lubavitch Youth Organization. It was inspired by a hand drawing by the Rambam (Maimonides) of the original Menorah in the Holy Temple of Jerusalem. The 32-foot high, gold-colored, 4,000 pound steel structure will be lit nightly with genuine oil lamps. Specially designed glass chimneys will protect the Chanukah lights from the Central Park winds.
