A dreidel is a four-sided spinning top that children play with during Hanukkah celebrations. Created by jewellers at the House of Lobortas, this silver spinning top evokes joy and playfulness — yet it holds something far deeper than mere entertainment.

On the silver edges of Dreidel, the silversmiths engraved four sacred letters of the Hebrew alphabet: Nun, Gimel, Hei, Shin. Together, they form the phrase “A great miracle happened here” — words that speak of a miraculous rescue that took place many centuries ago. The engraved patterns with the symbols of the Jewish people complement the cherished letters.

The dreidel is not just a game, but a sacred tradition passed down through generations. During Hanukkah, the festival of lights, families gather to spin the dreidel, and each turn represents a new chance, a new possibility — because each side, each letter, carries its own meaning.

Adorned with gold, engraving, and diamonds, Dreidel stands as a symbol of memory and resilience. Its patterns and sacred words remind us that history lives on — and that even the smallest light can dispel darkness.
