YU TORAH Dreidel Drama By Mrs. Shira Smiles
Is Chanukah just a “minor” holiday and the dreidel a mere toy? More often than not, including secondary colors into a pattern or minor notes into music creates a richness and fullness that give greater meaning to the original work. Such is the case with Chanukah in Judaism, and with the menorah and the dreidel that are its symbols, for they help us appreciate the depth of Torah and the beauty of a Torah life. Surely celebrating for eight days, lighting candles each of those nights, and continuing to play with the same simple toy for over two millennia has more meaning than just partying and a passing fad of a plaything.(note to get the source sheet do not click on it rather save the file).
