- Studio Dagi and the Jaffa administration present the installation from 4 December 2026.
- The public display remains at the Jaffa promenade opposite Clock Tower Square until 12 December 2026.
- The municipal promenade covers 8.7 miles and connects 13 beaches along Tel Aviv-Yafo’s western edge.
A sit-in Hanukkah menorah will stand at the Tel Aviv Promenade (Tayelet) in Tel Aviv from 4 December 2026, giving the seafront a public installation during Hanukkah. The display will be positioned at the entrance to Jaffa, opposite Clock Tower Square, and will remain through 12 December 2026.
The installation links a seasonal religious display with the southern end of the city’s waterfront route. It is a concrete new feature for visitors within the current travel period, rather than a general recommendation to walk the coast.
A sit-in Hanukkah menorah arrives at Jaffa promenade
The menorah is designed and produced by Studio Dagi, while the city’s Jaffa administration is running the event. Visitors will be able to step inside the structure and sit facing the sea. The announced installation details place it at 2 Roslan Street, opposite Clock Tower Square.
The public display begins on 4 December 2026 and ends on 12 December 2026. The announcement says it is open to everyone and that the site is physically accessible, giving travellers a clearly identified place to find the installation during the eight-day period.
How the installation fits Tel Aviv’s western seafront
The municipal promenade follows the seashore along Tel Aviv-Yafo’s western edge. The city describes the route as an 8.7-mile stretch with open sea views, linking a series of 13 municipal beaches.
That setting gives the installation a distinct relationship with the place: the menorah is not inside a gallery or a religious building, but at the Jaffa entrance to a route used for walking, jogging and cycling. The municipality lists Givat Aliyah Beach in Jaffa among the beaches beside the promenade and identifies Charles Clore Beach, Aviv Beach and the central urban beaches as other sections of the wider waterfront. The municipal promenade and beach guide also records accessible trails to shade structures and at least one accessible chair at each beach, although assistance is required for the chair.
Why the Jaffa setting matters for the December display
The southern location places the installation beside one of Tel Aviv-Yafo’s historic urban areas. The municipality presents Old Jaffa as a destination with an old port, markets and a long history, while the menorah’s position opposite Clock Tower Square places the display at a recognisable meeting point between the waterfront and Jaffa.
For travellers, the event therefore combines a precise public artwork with an established coastal route. The installation can be reached as part of a visit to the Jaffa section of the promenade, while the wider setting continues towards the beaches and seafront areas farther north.
