The Dreidels is a spinning top used by children to play a game during the holiday of Hannukah. It is a four sided top with each of the four sides showing the separate Hebrew letters "Nun," "Gimel," "Hay," and "Shin." It is believed that these letters are used because theyfrom the first letters from the phrase: "Nes Gadol Hayah Sham" or "A Great Miracle Happened There." Fun and functional, our dreidels are bound to make the perfect desk, mantle or counter top adornment for all year round.
