Do You See…? Block Of The Week 40 Dreidel

This quilt is an explosion of all kinds of Christmas traditions. Of course, Christmas is not the only Winter Holiday.

The dreidel is a four-sided spinning top, played with during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. The dreidel is a Jewish variant on the teetotum, a gambling toy found in many European cultures.
Each side of the dreidel bears a letter of the Hebrew alphabet
According to Jewish tradition, when the Jews were in caves learning Torah, hiding from the Greeks, dreidel became a popular game to play. Legend has it that whenever the teacher heard the Greek soldiers approaching, he would instruct the children to hide their Torah scrolls and take out their dreidels instead.
So we honor this history and these traditions with this dreidel block.
