About Menorah in the D
The Menorah in the D is an annual community-wide menorah lighting event in downtown Detroit. The Shul in partnership with NEXTGen from the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit and Chabad of Greater Downtown Detroit are hosting the event to renew a sense of Jewish identity, bring Judaism to downtown Detroit and welcome people of all ages, religions and backgrounds to the city for a night of celebration.
We are so proud of our 26 ft. Menorah, designed and built by the artists (and brothers) Erik Nordin and Israel Nordin of Detroit Design Center in Corktown. This Chabad menorah will be erected each year in Campus Martius/Cadillac Square for the Chanukah holiday.
In the spirit of the holiday, before the the menorah lighting ceremony, there will be a Menorah family Festival with many activities and entertainment for all ages. See more about it here.
