The world’s largest menorah will be lit every night during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, beginning Dec. 12-20.

The menorah is sponsored by the Lubavitch Youth Organization. The lighting of the gigantic candelabra will take place at 5:30 p.m. each night, except for the Friday-Saturday Sabbath observance, when the lightings will take place in the afternoon.
