A Tel Aviv Chanukiah has become the world’s largest menorah to be constructed out of Lego.

The menorah, in the Lego store in downtown Tel Aviv's Dizengoff centre was the work of dozens of volunteers who helped piece together the thousands of bricks.

Real estate mogul and engineer Amnon Marc Applbaum, who oversaw the project’s measurements declared the menorah to be a record-breaker, despite no official confirmation.

He said: "It was built out of more than 130,000 bricks with no adhesive or structural support beyond the magical power of the Lego bricks themselves,” he went on.
