#dreidel

Top Voted Definition for #dreidel

The term "dreidel" comes from the Yiddish word dreydl, which means "to turn." According to My Jewish Learning, "Dreidels have four Hebrew letters on them," usually nun, gimmel, hey and shin. These stand for the saying 'Nes gadol haya sham,' which means "a great miracle occurred there." However, when the dreidel is actually used in Israel, it will often read "Nes gadol haya po,".
