After a meeting with her this week, the JLC announced it was “extremely pleased to have a different menorah for Chanukah in the Square this year and hope that it will continue to be a source of pride for everyone in the Jewish community.
“It would not be right to continue to use the old menorah and as organisers we believe that moving forward with a different menorah will symbolise the unity and strength of our community.”
A JLC spokesperson said: "We are currently looking in to the most environmentally friendly way of disposing of it."
Ms Goldsobel, founding director of Migdal Emunah, a charity which supports victims of sexual abuse, told the JC earlier this year that “continuing to use this menorah donated by a convicted sex offender is giving the wrong message.
"Why not use the opportunity of adding light into the world to make a profound statement in support of the hundreds of victims of abuse in our community."
