The record was achieved on September 13 but was just made public on Tuesday.

He isn’t the first Israeli to make it to the famous book. Other Israelis who made world history are Ofer Zaltman, who made the longest chain of bubble gum wrappers in the world, and the late president Shimon Peres, who entered the record book for being the oldest head of state in the world.
