EDIBLE DREIDEL

O dreidel, dreidel, dreidel

I made it out of clay

And when it’s dry and ready

Then dreidel I shall play.

My favorite Hanukkah song. While eating sufganiyot (Israeli jelly doughnuts) and potato latkes, what better thing to do than play dreidel, once a German gambling game? The rules are simple. The letters written on the four-sided top are nun, ? (nothing), gimel, ? (all), heh, ? (half), and shin, ? (add two things to the pot). Together, the letters mean “a great miracle happened here.” Each person should start with about ten pennies, carob chips, nuts, raisins, M&M’s, or stones. Each player puts one in the pot. In turn, each person spins the dreidel, which is like a top. The face-up letter determines what he wins. When the pot is empty, each player adds one object to it. If an odd number of objects are in the pot, the heh person takes half plus one. When one person wins everything, the game is over.

When the children have tired of playing dreidel, they can make an edible one.
