Apparently, the Jews are not the only ones who enjoy the Dreidel / Sevivon in their traditional culture in the Hanukkah holiday. It turns out that this spinning top toy comes by many names: teetotum, whirligig, whipping top, la toupie, trottola, tol, kreisel, tuo luo, gan lok, etc.; and has been found to be one of the oldest game pieces for people of all ages, in many cultures around the world. Proof that this retro game piece went way back to the Neolithic Era in the history of mankind is by the finding of a spinning top made from stone in the archaeological site in Shanxi Province in China. This age-less game piece sometime takes the form with smooth round side; and other times with flat side facets, like the six side facets ones in China or the four facets ones played in the old times during Christmas in Europe.

This ancient Europe game survived to today through the adoption by the East European Jews based on the German version, including the initial letters on the four sides: N = Nichts = nothing; G = Ganz = all; H = Halb = half; and S = Stell ein = put in. Spinning top in Jewish Yiddish is called “Dreidel” a deviation from “trundl” in German for spinning top; and in Hebrew is called “Sevivon”= spinning object.

So come get yourself, friends and family a spinning top/dreidel/ totum or more and carry on the all time vintage family game fun!
