Hanukkah's Dreidel

Let's put a spin on this holiday! The dreidel is one of the best-known symbols of Hanukkah, which begins on the evening of December 4th this year. The four-sided spinning top doesn't have any real religious significance - it exists more as a custom and a children's game.

To play, children take turns spinning the dreidel. Depending on which side lands face up, they must either contribute tokens such as candy, nuts or money to the common pot, or withdraw winnings. Expert players know how to spin them upside down - always the cool way to do it!
