AMERICAN BRASS CHRISTMAS-TREE MENORAH
Publication
1965
summary
This Christmas tree-inspired Menorah reflects an early awareness of the changed identity of the modern Jew living in mid-20th century American society. It was designed in 1965 by Isadore Serot (1927-2000) of the Terra Sancta Guild in Pennsylvania – a company that initially began selling Judaica and then transitioned to Christian and inspirational religious items in the 1960’s.
