It is approximately two meters high and wide, and weighs approximately a ton. Its production process lasted approximately seven months. During Hanukkah, which will be from Dec. 18 in the evening to Dec. 26, there will be a candle lighting every evening in the plaza of the Western Wall in the presence of rabbis and public figures.
