A ten-foot Menorah now greets customers at Devonshire Mall, but this one is extra special.
To start Chanukah on the evening of Sunday, December 22nd, a Menorah consisting of different items made from the previous Menorahs at Devonshire Mall was located near the old Sears.
The different arms of the Menorah were made from items such as lego, pasta, socks and food cans to name a few.
Rabbi Sholom Galperin says even people who are not of the Jewish faith, can find goodness in Menorah.
"I want them to feel the idea that in life, there may be darkness around us but one of the greatest things of the Menorah is bringing in light and each one of us with a little deed that we can do, a small little good deed, we can bring so much light into the world," he says.
The Menorah symbolizes the reconstruction of the holy temple that was destroyed by the Greeks when they destroyed the oil.
"When it came the Jews to rededicate the temple, they only found one little jug of oil which only should have lasted for one day, it lasted for eight," he says. "Hence we have Menorah for eight days," says Rabbi Galperin.
