Residents at the Azrieli Palace assisted living facility in Modi'in, Israel, set a Guinness World Record by assembling a 17.7-foot-tall tower of matzah and chocolate spread. Photo by Jonathunder/Wikimedia Commons
The record attempt was timed to coincide with the Jewish holiday Passover, which begins Sunday evening.
The finished tower, which featured 950 sheets of matzah, weighed 22 pounds and stood 17.7 feet high, enough to set a new Guinness World Record.
The matzah tower was examined by a Guinness adjudicator before being turned into chocolate balls to be distributed.
