2. South Street Seaport
Artist and Chasidic Rabbi, Yitzchok Moully has created a site-specific menorah for the South Street Seaport this year. The 15-foot stainless steel menorah is meant to evoke the image of a ship’s sail. Moully has been creating Hanukah-inspired art for years in different cities across the country. He hopes to continue revealing a new creative menorah design every year moving forward.
The new nautical Seaport Menorah will be lit every year on the Heineken Riverdeck at the north side of Pier 17, overlooking the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge. The inaugural lighting ceremony and unveiling of the new menorah, hosted in conjunction with Chabad of Wall Street, the Jewish Learning Experience, and The Howard Hughes Corporation, will take place on December 18th from 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm.
