Merrick Jewish Centre to Break Guinness Hanukkah Record--Again!

Merrick Jewish Centre members will celebrate Hanukkah by breaking the record for most Menorahs lit at one time -- again

Three years ago, the Merrick Jewish Centre broke the Guinness Record for most Hanukkah menorahs lighted at one time. Just one year later, a synagogue in Princeton, N.J. took the record, beating the MJC by 50 menorahs.

But—the record will be returning to Merrick where it belongs this Hanukkah!!

Merrick Jewish Centre will host Light the Night 2, when more than 1,000 people will join to light more than 1,000 menorahs and 3,000 candles to restore the Guinness Record.
