Nambé Dreidel: The Miracle Takes a Spin

hanukkah-dreidel-nambe

Anyone who doesn’t know the story of Hanukkah misses out. It is a fabulous story, of light and darkness, about very little hope, and a lot of faith, it is a story of a miracle that happened a long time ago. This is not just a story, it’s tradition, it is yet another unique chapter in the history of the Jewish people. In fact, this is a great story for the winter days, combined with the spirit of Christmas all around. Light scares away darkness, good overcomes evil – classic. One of my favorite traditions in Hanukkah is the dreidel game – so much fun, spin it and try to guess which letter it will fall on. Continue reading
