Dreidels
The wonders and religious means of direct Judaism throughout the year did not skip over the kids in games and fun, when it came to Hanukkah and the game with the Jewish Dreidel. Today you can find Dreidels online very easily and Judaica Gifts is one of the best places where you can get genuine Dreidels
and Dreidel symbols.
Even with the large number of Dreidel styles to choose from on our website, all Dreidels are basically shaped the same. There are 4 sides to this spinning top with the Hebrew letters of gimel, shin, heh, and nun upon each side. These 4 Hebrew letters that stand for Hebrew words that translates into the English language to say that in Israel "A Great Miracle Happened".
On our website you will find Dreidels for traditional Hanukkah games. The participants of these games sit in a circle, and are given twenty candy drops (peppermints, special foil-covered chocolates that look like coins, or even pennies) and they spin the Dreidel, a toy that looks like a spinning top, which alludes to the miracle of Hanukkah and has letters on each side meaning: Nes (N-miracle), Gadol (G-Great), Haya (H-happened), and Sham (S-there, meaning in Israel).
Each player gets equal amounts of candy or coins. Each player places one in the center, or "pot" and each player will take turns spinning the Dreidel. Each letter gives directions to give or take some candies. The player with all candies wins the game.
There are many different kinds of Dreidels such as hollow, musical, plastic, ceramic, wooden, glass Dreidels and even highly expensive silver and gold Dreidels. Although the glass, gold and silver Dreidels will most often cost a few hundred dollars, they are highly desired for the fun of adding to the Dreidel collections that so many Jewish families love to do. At Judaica Gifts we offer the comprehensive selection of Dreidel cards, gifts and other items with Dreidel symbols, not mentioning Dreidels themselves to contribute to the collections that can be passed down for many generations.
