Hamsa & Jewish Blessings - Hamsa Dreidel

The spinning dreidel with the Hamsa in blue is a great gift for the hamsa or dreidel collector. The Hamsa is actually considered to be a sign of protection that wards off evil and can be used to lead to good fortune and personal well-being. This Sephardic symbol in Israel has become common among Jews of the diaspora. Each piece of glass in the dreidel is hand cut, ground to form the angles on the sides of the dreidel, wrapped in copper, and soldered on oblique angles. The result is a perfect three dimensional dreidel that spins in the plexiglass stand. The stand was designed especially for this purpose and comes with the dreidel. The letters on the dreidel are nun, gimmel, heh, and shin - represents the verse to commemorate the miracle of Hanukkah. This verse "nes gadol hayah sham" meaning "A great miracle happened there."
