A New Spin on Hanukkah

A colorful dreidel dances across a table, its Hebrew letters jumbled in the blur of a spin. The dreide is a symbol of the winter Jewish holiday, Hanukkah. A top used to play a traditional Hanukkah game, it has a Hebrew letter on each of its four sides. These stand for the words that make up the Hebrew phrase "A great miracle happened there," referring to the Hanukkah miracles that happened in ancient Israel.
