TEL AVIV (Web Desk) - The first Lego stores in Israel opened earlier this year and one is now home to the world s largest Lego menorah.
Menorahs are lighted each day of Hanukkah, which started Sunday and continues for eight days.
A menorah built with 136,000 single bricks is on display at the Lego store in Tel Aviv s Dizengoff Center shopping mall. It was built by hundreds of children and families as part of the Hanukkah Lego festival, said Yoav Gaon, CEO of LEGO Israel.
The store was the first official Lego store opened in Israel, welcoming its first customers in July.
"Hundreds of kids, parents and grandparents created in the last three days the largest menorah from 130 thousand LEGO bricks - attempting to break the Guinness record," he said. "The incredible event resulted in a menorah 4.5 meter in height and 4.4 meter in width and brought to life the values of miracles through fun, imagination and play."
The previous record holder was 4 meters talls and 4 meters wide, or about 13 feet tall and 13 feet wide.
The menorah is hollow inside and only made of single Lego bricks. No adhesives were used to hold it together.
