When did we start using children's games to celebrate Hanukkah?
There is only one game played during Hanukkah (the dreidel) game, but no one knows how long it has been associated with Hanukkah, or even why. Many rabbis have tried to find a historical connection between the dreidel and the Hanukkah story. One 19th century rabbi proposed that in Ancient times, Jews played with the dreidel in order to fool the Greeks if they were caught studying Torah, which had been outlawed. The standard explanation is that the letters nun, gimmel, hey, shin, which appear on the dreidel in the Diaspora, stand for nes gadol haya sham--"a great miracle happened there,"while in Israel the dreidel says nun, gimmel, hey, pey, which means "a great miracle happened here."
