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.
On the corner of 59th Street and Fifth Avenue, near Central Park.
The menorah is lit with oil lamps protected from the wind by specially designed glass chimneys. A cherry-picker crane provided by the Con Edison electric utility lifts the lamplighters up to kindle the flames.
