NJ's Largest Menorah is Near South Brunswick

New Jersey’s largest menorah is now up in Monroe Township at the corner of Perrinevlle and Prospect Plains roads.

The menorah was lit Sunday at 3:30 p.m. and will continue to be lit nightly through sundown on December 14 to celebrate the eight nights of Hanukkah. State Assemblyman Rep. Dan Benson (D-14th District) and New Jersey State Sen. Linda Greenstein (D-14th District) lit the menorah along with local business owners. The menorah is 32 feet tall, the height of the menorah in Rockefeller Center, which is billed as “The Largest Menorah in the World.” 32 feet is the highest legal size a menorah can be, according to Jewish law, Rabbi Eliezer Zaklikovsky of the Chabad Jewish Center of Monroe tells Patch.
