What is being called the world’s largest chanukiyah (nine-branched menorah), made with 25,000 balloons, has been unveiled at Schneider Children’s Medical Center in Petach Tikvah for Chanukah.

This is the 10th consecutive year the hospital has showcased the giant chanukiyah, placed by the Tikva Umarpe organization. However, this year’s display includes a yellow ribbon to honor the 100 hostages still held by Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza.

The construction involved 100 volunteers and a rappelling team, who worked overnight to assemble the display.

“Waiting for the miracle of Hanukkah,” the medical center shared in a LinkedIn post, expressing hope for the hostages’ return home.
