only orally, in groups. A decree
was therefore issued prohibiting
any assemblage for the purpose
of studying the Torah, under pen
atty of death. Not discouraged
by this malicious decree, the Rab-
bis sought to camouflage their
studies by giving them the out
ward appearance of play. This
was achieved by spinning the "top
of chance" which was a common
pastime.
There being no evident signs of
writing, the observer would con-
clude only that the group was en-
gagged in play and not in actual
study. To commemorate this
trick, it is still customary to spin
"Chanukah tops" It has thus
remained custom to play games
of chance" on Chanukah, although
they are prohibited on all other
occasions.
QUESTION:: What does the
word "dreideI'' actually mean?
ANSWER: The top is called a
"dreideT' because the word stems
from the German word "dreihen"
which means to turn" or to
spin. 1t is also called "trendel"
at times.
QUESTION:: What do the in
scribed letters on the "dreider
represent?
ANSWER: The "dreideP' has
four sides which are inscribed with
the letters "Nun," "Gimel," "Heh"
and "Shin" respectively. AS far
as the actual game is concerned,
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1947-12-12

they represent the four German
words "Nichts." "Gans," "Halb,"
and "Shtel," which mean "Noth-
ing" "All," "Half," and "Put" re-
spectively. Thus they indicate
each player destined gains and
losses in the play, depending upon
which side of the top falls upright.
The four letters have still anoth-
er significance. They indicate the
first letters of the four words
"Nes Gadol Heuch Shom" which
means Tin Hebrew "a great
miracle happened there" In this
respect the little top is a reminder
of the miracle of Chanukah.
QUESTION: Why is it custom
ary to eat cheese delicacies on
Chanukah?
ANSWER: The explanation for
this custom is usually connected
with the story of Judith who per-
formed a great deed during the
heroic exploits of the Maccabees.
Judith, according to the story, fed
cheese to the enemy leader in a
successful attempt to make him
thirsty and cause him to drink
much wine. He them became
drunk and she beheaded him and
carried off his head in a sack.
This act encouraged the defenders
and discouraged the enemy who
lost courage and fled before the
Jews. AS a reminder of this brave
feat we serve cheese delicacies on
Chanukah.

QUESTION:: Why is it custom
ary for the children to play with
a top called the "dreideP' on
Chanukah?
ANSWER: During various Jew
ish prosecutions during the Middle
Ages the tyrants always tried to
stop the Jews from studying the
Torah. In those days Jewish
scholarship was carried on by
mouth to mouth" transmission
and not through writing. The
Talmud, especially, was studied

Where the Gross StoYs Green

II was catching, all right. Last
wear. about this time, it was pretty
tough to pass up quick shot at civil
Ian life-seemed as if almost every
body in the army was leaving. A lot
of men applied for discharge without
thinking-jus to be part of Operat-
ion Skedaddle.
Today, many of the same men who
left are reenlisting. More than two
out of every three men in the first
100000 volunteers were former
service men. They've had time to
think it over. And now is a good
time, while you're still young, to
consider the advantage of sticking
with the army for a career.
The benefits of army life continue
to mount as your service lengthens.
Your chance for promotion increases
as you gain experience; and each
successive year OF duty brings YOU
closer to the time when you can
leave the service with a lifelong
monthly retirement income. You
would have to pay 500. a month for
