One of the best known symbols of Chanukah is the Dreidel.
A dreidel is a four sided top with a Hebrew letter on each side.
The four letters are: SHIN, HEY, GIMEL, NUN
These letters mean"A Great Miracle Happened There."
In Israel the dreidel is a bit different in that their letters mean "A Miracle Happened HERE!"The player spins the dreidel. When the dreidel stops, the letter that is facing up decides the outcome.
