Homonym: Gelt (Money)
Gelt refers to money, particularly in the context of Jewish traditions. It is often associated with the celebration of Hanukkah, where chocolate coins wrapped in gold or silver foil are given to children. These coins symbolize the importance of giving and sharing during the holiday season.
In addition to its festive use, gelt can also refer to actual money used in games, such as dreidel, a traditional spinning top game played during Hanukkah. Players use gelt as stakes, making the game both fun and a way to teach children about the value of money and generosity.
