What is a dreidel?
The dreidel, known in Hebrew as a “sevivon” is a four-sided spinning top with Hebrew letters on the sides spelling the initial letters of “nes gadol hayah sham” – a great miracle happened there. In Israel, the last letter has been changed so that it reads, “a great miracle happened here.”
Reason for Dreidel
The source of the Chanukah dreidel is the story of the courageous children who continued to study Torah defying the wicked Greek soldiers. Whenever a soldier entered, they would quickly take out spinning tops and pretend they were harmlessly playing.
The Dreidel Today
Today, the dreidel fills a dual purpose. It is a harmless game that children and adults play together using raisins, candies or chocolate coins. The dreidel is also a magnificent item of Judaica proudly displayed year-round. Many people have started a dreidel collection and discovered the beauty of design and color that lies within the small spinning top.

In conclusion
Enjoy spinning the dreidel as everyone sings together the traditional dreidel song, “I have a little dreidel. I made it out of clay. And when it’s dry and ready. Oh dreidel, I shall play...” Canaan-Online’s dreidels are made from quality materials – not clay – but they still arouse memories of delightful childhood melodies!
