Most New Yorkers cross the Manhattan Bridge without ever knowing its story.
It was designed in 1909 by Leon Moisseiff, a Jewish immigrant whose engineering ideas were decades ahead of their time. Moisseiff introduced suspension principles that completely reshaped modern bridge design — innovations that later influenced icons like the Golden Gate Bridge.
A Jewish immigrant changed the skyline of New York and helped redefine engineering around the world.
