This past Saturday night, on the first night of Chanukah, the New York and Atlantic Seaboard regions of NCSY worked together to set the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest Menorah lighting at their Winter Regional Shabbaton, with over 1,000 menorahs lit. The Shabbaton and record-setting Menorah lighting were held at the Hilton Stamford Hotel. “Perhaps even greater than setting this record, was the feeling of achdus that enveloped the ballroom as the participants simultaneously lit their Menorahs,” said Carol Rhine, NY NCSY Chief Operating Officer. “It was a memorable moment, which demonstrated that the miracle of Chanukah is not an ancient one, but rather one that occurs and reveals itself in our generation as well.”
