The term 'Dreidel, Basically' is a reference to the traditional four-sided spinning TOP used in the Jewish game of dreidel. The TOP is usually made of wood or plastic and has four Hebrew letters inscribed on each side. The letters stand for the phrase 'Nes Gadol Hayah Sham, ' which translates to 'A great miracle happened there.' The game is traditionally played during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.
