South Street Seaport Museum announces Stamp a Dreidel Activity on Sunday December 29 2024 from 3pm to 5pm at 207 Water Street. Presented as part of the neighborhood menorah lighting at the Seaport celebrate Hanukkah with the Seaport Museum by hot-foil stamping your own wooden dreidel with special letterforms developed by the professional printers at Bowne & Co.


Foil stamping is similar to letterpress printing in that a raised surface is used to transfer the image but rather than ink a heat-activated metallic gold foil is used. The talented printers at Bowne & Co. drew these letterforms based on scans of a German 15th century Ashkenazi Haggadah from The British Library. Those designs were then made into the magnesium dies used for this foil stamping activity. 


Registration is encouraged for this free drop-in activity but walkups will be accommodated as possible. You are welcome to visit anytime between 3pm and 5pm and you don’t have to stay for the full event. seaportmuseum.org/dreidel-activity


Not able to make it to Bowne & Co. for the activity? No worries! You can purchase your own hot-foil stamped dreidel on bowne.co!


About the Neighborhood Celebration

The Seaport’s annual Chanukah Menorah Lighting is hosted by the Jewish Learning Experience. All are welcome at this family-friendly holiday celebration which will include face painting popcorn chocolate and other traditional treats and a musical performance by the FiDi Hebrew School. The pinnacle of the afternoon will be the traditional Menorah lighting ceremony featuring this year’s grand Menorah made from chocolate. We hope you’ll join us for these sweet holiday celebrations with our downtown community. theseaport.nyc/events/chanukah
