• As the dreidel became a symbol
associated with Chanukah, many legends
began to stem from it, like this one:
When Antiochus decreed that Jewish
law may no longer be studied in public,
righteous Jews defied him and continued
to teach Torah to their children. When
they saw the king's henchman coming,
groups of students would quickly hide
their books and bring out their dreidels,
pretending that they had merely gath-
ered for a bit of fun and gambling.
• Dreidel spinning has even become a
competitive sport! The group Major League
Dreidel hosts tournaments each year in
New York City and crowns a champion
for the longest-lasting continuous spin.

• The word dreidel is Yiddish and
comes from the German verb dreihen,
meaning "to spin:' Dreidel literally
means "little spinner:' The first dreidel
players were Yiddish-speaking Jews in
medieval Europe. In fact, playing with
tops has been a popular pastime across
Western Europe since at least the 16th
century!
• Many believe that the four letters on
the dreidel — nun, gimel, hay and shin
— were taken from the Hebrew expres-
sion Nes Gadol Hayah Sham, meaning
"a great miracle happened there refer-
ring to the miraculous events of the
Chanukah story in ancient Israel. Really,
this meaning was added later on —the
letters originally represented the Yiddish
instructions for what to do when you
land on each one (Yiddish and Hebrew
use the same alphabet). Gimel for gantz
or "whole" means take the whole pot;
hay for halb or "half" means take half
the pot; nun for nisht or "nothing" means
don't take out or put in; and shin for
shtehl ethl or "put in" means put some of
your coins into the pot.
