There is a Hebrew letter embossed or printed on each of thedreidel\'sfour sides. These four letters form the acronym of the phrase:Nes gadol hayah sham, \"a great miracle happened there,\" a reference to theChanukah miraclethat transpired in the Land ofIsrael.

It is told that thedreidel, known in Hebrew as asevivon, dates back to the time of the Greek-Syrian rule over the Holy Land—which set off the Maccabean revolt that culminated in the Chanukah miracle. LearningTorahwas outlawed by the enemy, a \"crime\" punishable by death. The Jewish children resorted to hiding in caves in order to study. If a Greek patrol would approach, the children would pull out their tops and pretend to be playing a game.

By playingdreidelduring Chanukah we are reminded of the courage of those brave children.

• Land on “nun” (נ) and nothing happens.
• Land on “gimmel” (ג) and you get to take the whole pot.
• Land on “hay” (ה) and you take half of the pot.
• Land on “shin” (ש) and you must give a predetermined amount back into the kitty.

Whenever the kitty is emptied, every player must contribute a set amount. Any player that cannot contribute after landing on a “shin” or after a fellow player lands on a “gimmel” loses.
