The world's largest electronic menorah is lighting-up the South Florida skyline in its annual tradition during the eight-nights of Hanukkah.
A video distributed by Paramount Miami Worldcenter shows the 700-foot-tall LED lit menorah, set to go on display starting Sunday night, the first night of the Jewish Festival of Lights.
The 60-story Paramount tower, decorated with Jewish stars and the words "Happy Hanukkah," is expected to illuminate every morning before dawn and from sunset through midnight throughout the week. The Building is the soaring signature skyscraper of the $4-billion, 27-acre Miami Worldcenter. It is currently the largest urban core construction project in the United States and the nation’s second-largest real estate development.
