One of the most popular Hanukkah customs, dreidel is a game played with a spinning top during the eight-day holiday that commemorates the victory of the Maccabees over the ancient Greek army and the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Now you can add an elegant touch to this widespread custom with this magnificent small sterling silver dreidel from Shoham Yemenite Art. Skillfully handcrafted in the hills surrounding Jerusalem, this dreidel features a rounded flat top that is decorated with an elaborate petal-based filigree design. The petals are adorned with a rope motif except for four, which contain the Hebrew letters nun, gimel, hey, peh (symbolizing the phrase Nes Gadol Haya Po – A Great Miracle Happened Here). Both stylish and meaningful, this dreidel is perfect to display during the Hanukkah festival and will enhance your home décor throughout the rest of the year.
