The candles are lit. Everyone is enjoying Hanukkah latkes. Now, is the time to play a game of dreidel. This nickel-plated dreidel is decorated with colorful stones and a pretty design of Jerusalem - focus of the Hanukkah story. On the sides of the dreidel are the four Hebrew letters: nun, gimmel, hay and pay, acronym for the Hebrew words: A great miracle happened here.

The dreidel reminds us of the courageous Jewish children who risked their lives to study Torah whilst they had a dreidel in their pocket so if they were surprised by soldiers they could claim they were playing with their spinning tops.
