Quartz Dreidel

The original quartz dreidel. Load it up with terps and watch it spin round and round.

The Hebrew word for dreidel is sevivon, which, as in Yiddish, means “to turn around.” Dreidels have four Hebrew letters on them, and they stand for the saying, Nes gadol haya sham, meaning “A great miracle occurred there.” In Israel, instead of the fourth letter shin, there is a peh, which means the saying is Nes gadol haya po, “A great miracle occurred here.”
