The multi-colored 'Omer Tower', named after
8-year-old Lego fan Omer Sayag, was completed using cranes in
Rabin Square on Wednesday after more than a fortnight's
construction work by thousands of residents.
"It was the idea of his (Sayag's) former kindergarten teacher,
and building blocks were donated by residents, companies and
some were purchased using municipality funds," a spokesperson
for the mayor's office said.
There was no Guinness World Records adjudicator on site to
measure the 'Omer Tower', meaning Tel Aviv must wait for
approval from the body to confirm they have beaten the previous
record of 35.05 meters (115 ft), built in Milan in 2015.
