Traditional Hanukkah Dreidel - Symbol of the Festival of Lights #1420643 (License: Personal Use)

This vibrant illustration depicts a traditional Hanukkah dreidel-a four-sided spinning top used in games during the eight-day Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Each side bears one of the Hebrew letters Nun, Gimmel, Hay, and Shin, forming the acronym for “Nes Gadol Haya Sham,” commemorating the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days in the ancient Temple. The dreidel is often made of wood, metal, or plastic and serves both as a playful toy and a meaningful educational tool for children and families.
