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

A Hanukkah Event for the entire family! Come be a part of history!

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. Anyone interested in joining in on this amazing event is welcome! Your admission is one menorah per person (if you have them) and four candles per menorah!
