Delta is currently developing two new meaningful collections: the Dreidel and the Sevivon Limited Editions.
A dreidel (Yiddish: dreydl, Hebrew: sevivon) is a four-sided spinning top that children play with during Hanukkah also known as the Festival of Lights, an eight-day Jewish holiday. Hanukkah is observed for eight nights, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, i.e. on December 12th on the Gregorian calendar in 2009.
The numerical value of the Hebrew letters on a Dreidel/Sevivon is 358. [Nun (50) + Gimmel (3) + Hei (5) + Shin (300)]. It has the same numerical value as the word Messiah [Mem (40) + Shin (300) + Yud (10) + Chet (8)].
Each side of the dreidel bears a letter of the Hebrew alphabet: Nun, Gimmel, Hey and Shin, stand for the Nes Gadol Haya Sham, which means “A Great Miracle Happened There” referring to Hanukkah, the Festival of light, a symbol of the triumph of light over darkness when the Jews regained control of Jerusalem over the Greeks and rededicated the Holy Temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BCE.
In Israel, the modern-day land of Judea in which the story of Hanukkah took place, the letters on the dreidel are Nun, Gimmel, Hey and Peh, which stand for “A Great Miracle Happened Here” (Po, in Hebrew) referring to the “miracle of oil”. There was only enough consecrated olive oil to fuel the eternal flame of the Menorah in the Temple for one day. Miraculously, that oil burned for eight days and nights (the time it took to have new pure oil prepared.
Hanukkah was born : the Torah light has shone ever since and will shine eternally.
The Dreidel collection comes in a Limited Edition, made in a precious coloured resin with sterling silver attributes. Cap and body are hand turned from a solid bar of precious resin available in four different colours (black, white, blue, pink) with a 14-karat solid gold nib.
