Did you know?
The dreidel is a four-sided spinning top, each face inscribed with a Hebrew letter: nun, gimel, hei, and shin—together spelling נס (Nes, meaning 'miracle'). According to tradition, during times of religious persecution, Jewish children used dreidels to disguise their study of Torah as gambling games. Today the dreidel remains central to Hanukkah celebrations, with players spinning it to determine how to share chocolate coins or other small prizes, keeping alive a custom rooted in resilience and hidden faith.
