The Dreidel Game began in Germany hundreds of years ago. Rabbis in Germany allowed people to gamble only during Hanukkah. German gambling dice had four letters on their sides, which Jewish people translated into their Hebrew equivalent: N (nicht, nothing) Nun , G (all) Gimmel, , H (halb, half) Hey, and S (stell ein, put in) Shin . A sentence using the four letters reminds us of the story of Hanukkah: Nes Gadol Haya Sham, A great miracle happened there. In this way a gambling game was changed into a reminder of the miracle of Hanukkah.
