dreidls
Hanukkah spinning tops
Dreidls is the plural of dreidel, a four-sided spinning top used in a traditional Jewish game played during Hanukkah.
Each side bears a Hebrew letter, and players spin to determine whether they win or lose from a pot of tokens—traditionally nuts, chocolate coins, or small change.
The children played with their dreidls after lighting the menorah.
