My Virtual Reading Room

"...as the Hanukkah candle burns,
What are you and I thinking about?..."

Nun, Gimel, Heh, and Shin

Nun, gimel, heh, and shin,
See the wooden dreidel spin.
Nes gadol hayah shin,
If I'm lucky I will win!

I play with my new dreidel
upon the shiny floor.
I ask some friends to play with me-
we must have two or more.

I give the players pennies-
the same amount to each.
We sit down in a circle,
the pennies within reach.

Each player puts a penny
in the proper spot.
The middle of the circle
is what we call the pot.

In honour of Hanukkah--translation is in the second half of the song :)
Enjoy,
Cat

P.S. Apparently, this song can overload your browser--at least it did for holmes221b --guess the browser didn't feel festive! I think it was a fluke, though ;)
