Happy Hanukkah

It’s Hanukkah! This Jewish holiday is also called the Festival of Lights and it is celebrated for eight days with special traditions, foods and games. One of the games children play is called dreidel, which is a four-sided top. Each of the four sides of the top has a Hebrew word that means something different. Depending on what side the dreidel lands on will determine if you win or lose.
