We light the third candle tonight – not too late to wish my readers a lovely Festival of Lights. Of course, when all eight candles are burning and the menorah looks most impressive, the holiday is almost over – so the photo above is from last year.
And here is some Chanukah gelt for you, with some origami dreidels that my Little One made. They really do spin like crazy. Enjoy!
Cool origami dreidels. I see in the video they call them “tops”, but in your pic you have the letters added. Maybe I can interest my middle son…
Happy Chanukah to you and to your whole family!
The menorah is beautiful.
Thanks, ladies! The menorah is Moroccan.
Leora, you have to write the letters in by hand, as you see in the photo – and place a marker of some kind so that when the top stops spinning, it’ll point to the nearest letter. That’s how we use them as dreidels.
