Gelt is a Yiddish term that means money, often used in Jewish culture. It can refer to cash or coins, and is sometimes associated with the practice of giving money as a gift, especially during holidays like Hanukkah. In addition to its cultural significance, gelt is also used in games, such as dreidel, where players use chocolate coins or tokens to represent money. This playful aspect of gelt helps teach children about the value of money and the importance of sharing during festive occasions.
