Paramus Students Make World's Largest Human Menorah

PARAMUS, NJ — History was made in the borough Wednesday.

More than 500 students from Ben Porat Yosef, a private Jewish religious school, stood together and made the world's largest human menorah. A representative from the "Guinness World Book of Records" was on hand to certify the world record.

Students wore various colored clothes to make the menorah. The younger students wore orange and red to represent candle flames and the older students made the candles and stand.
