Add them to your Hanukkah gifts, scatter them around your Menorah, present them to your students. Whenever, however - these colorful inexpensive Hanukkah dreidels will always be welcome and enjoyed.
Around the sides are the Hebrew letters: nun, gimmel, hay and shin spelling out the words - A great miracle happened there.

The origin of the Hanukkah dreidel goes back over two thousand years to the times of the Maccabees when the brave Jewish children studied the holy Torah in hiding. They kept dreidels in their pocket so if a soldier found them, they would claim they were merely playing with their spinning tops!
