He added, "It was built out of more than 130,000 bricks with no adhesive or structural support beyond the magical power of the LEGO bricks themselves." The giant LEGO menorah will be lighted each night of the eight nights of Hanukkah. Benjamin Weinthal reports on Israel, Iran, Syria, Turkey and Europe for Fox News Digital.
