The traditional large Chanukah menorah was placed in the Kosel plaza on Tuesday morning.

The menorah is made entirely of bronze, its height is over 6.5 feet [two meters] and it is estimated to weigh about a ton.

Beginning on the first night of Chanukah, on Sunday, December 18, there will be a central candle lighting ceremony every evening of Chanukah at the Kosel plaza at 4:30 p.m.

On Friday, the lighting will take place at 3:40 p.m. and on Motzei Shabbos at 7 p.m.

The lighting ceremony will be broadcast live via the Kosel cameras on the website of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation.
