A dreidel is a four-sided spinning top that is traditionally played with during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Each side of the dreidel has a Hebrew letter: Nun, Gimel, Hey, and Shin. These letters stand for the phrase "Nes Gadol Hayah Sham," which means "A great miracle happened there," referring to the miracle of the oil in the Temple. During the game, players take turns spinning the dreidel and follow the rules based on which letter it lands on. The game is often played with chocolate coins or other small items as tokens. Playing with a dreidel is a fun way to celebrate Hanukkah and remember its history.
