A dreidel is a four-sided spinning top traditionally played during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Each side of the dreidel has a Hebrew letter: Nun, Gimel, Hey, and Shin, which stand for the phrase "Nes Gadol Hayah Sham," meaning "A great miracle happened there." Players take turns spinning the dreidel and follow specific rules based on which letter lands face up. The game is often played with chocolate coins called gelt or other small items. Players can win or lose these tokens based on the outcome of the dreidel spins. The dreidel game is a fun way to celebrate and remember the miracles of Hanukkah.
