The Seaport Menorah

The Seaport Menorah, stands as an innovative beacon in the world of Jewish public art. Its design pays homage to Seaport's rich maritime history, drawing inspiration from the imagery of a sail. Crafted from stainless steel, the menorah stands 15 feet tall, illuminating the east river overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge.

The Howard Hughes Corporation, commissioned Yitzchok Moully to create the Seaport Menorah. The local Chabad Rabbi was instrumental in forging this connection, endorsing Moully's blend of Jewish tradition with contemporary art. This collaboration successfully merged community, creativity, and commerce, resulting in a remarkable piece of public art that enhances community ties and uplifts the shared cultural landscape.
The Seaport Menorah is part of the permanent collection of the Seaport, publicly displayed through the Chanukah Holiday season.
