“, referring to the miracle occurring in the Land of Israel.
The Greeks imposed restricting laws against Jewish religion which set off the Maccabean revolt that led to the Chanukah miracle & revolt. Learning
Torah
was outlawed by the enemy, a “crime” that deserves  death. That is why Jewish children hid in caves in order to study the Torah. The
dreidel
sevivon
, started at the time  the Greek were ruling  over the Holy Land.  Whenever Greek patrol would approach, the children pull out their tops and pretend to be playing an innocent game.
Nowadays , Dreidel is not only children ‘s game but has developed into collectors of Jewish culture & history. There are a wide variety of skilled Judaica silversmith creating unusual dreidels in original designs and materials. One of those silversmith is S. Ghatan Katan from Jerusalem. Most of S. Ghatan dreidels are one of a kind. You can see his original dreidels in this site in silver or brass or copper Dreidels and start your own dreidel collection.
