African history and culture analysis

A dreidel is a four-sided spinning top with one Hebrew letter written on each side. Apart from being a part of the traditional children’s game usually played during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, dreidels have a deep spiritual meaning attached to it. Dreidels come in various sizes and materials, and they get their spiritual significance from the message written on them.
