Product Description
The Dreidel game is one of the most well-known games associated with Judaism, specifically with Hanukkah. This game actually served as a way to save the lives of Jewish children during the rule of the Syrian-Greeks who banned the study of Torah during the period of time during which the events of the Hanukkah story occurred. The game is now played in remembrance of the extreme measures taken to ensure that the knowledge of the Torah would not be forgotten. Dreidels are usually brightly colored and come in shades of blue, green, red, purple, yellow and pink amongst many other colors as well as in striped patterns. The Hebrew similarly can be in any color and are usually above, below or surrounded by depictions of Jerusalem, the Seven Species and Menorahs that are likewise usually brightly colored. In addition, the Dreidel can be shaped like Stars of David, crowns, spirals or flowers.
