The Dreidel (I'm pretty sure thats the proper way to spell it), is a game usually played around Hanukah... The four letters on the side are Nun, Gimel, Heh and Shih if I remember correctly... It's supposed to teach a moral lesson (by reminding Jewish children of something) as well as be a fun game... If I remember correctly the letters combined mean something like "Miracles happened here" or "A Miracle happened there"... Something of that nature... Have had a few frinds that were Jewish and was curious... There was an interesting story that went with it if I remember correctly... I just can't recall it at the moment....
