Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel!

A dreidel is a special spinning top with four sides. Each side has a Hebrew letter on it: Nun, Gimel, Hey, and Shin. These four letters stand for the Hebrew words 'Nes Gadol Haya Sham,' which means 'A great miracle happened there!' The dreidel game is one of the most popular Hanukkah traditions for children.
