Enrich your Chanukah memories by playing dreidel after kindling the menorah. Made of metal, this dreidel - spinning top - has etched on its four sides, the Hebrew letters that are an acronym for the phrase, "A great miracle happened there!" referring to the miracles of the holiday.

What is the source of the dreidel? It is an eloquent reminder of the legendary heroism of the young children at the time of the Greek persecution. They would study Torah secretly and whenever Greek soldiers approached they took out their spinning tops and pretended to be playing.
