Sevivon’s Significance Dreidel
Your students will enjoy playing with their functional, eco-friendly dreidels made out of simple, every day, recycled materials (such as newspapers and magazines) and the coordinating dreidel holder. In the classroom, they will exercise their math and logic skills by creating or solving a coded “gematria” message to be hidden under the pebbles, as our ancestors did with their seforim when a threat was close by.
