<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 43263, member: 669&quot;]Welcome to the forum Juanita.</p><p><br /></p><p>While waiting for one of our Israeli members to respond, I&#039;ll just comment that if my religious school studies of many years ago didn&#039;t fail me, the characters are &quot;Shin&quot;, &quot;Hey&quot;, &quot;Gimmel&quot;, &quot;Nun&quot;, which stands for a phrase that translates as &quot;A great miracle happened there.&quot;&nbsp; Traditionally the letters are placed on the sides of a square top, known as a &quot;dreidel&quot;, which is used in a children&#039;s gambling game for nuts during the Chanukah holdiay season.&nbsp; The phrase, of course, refers to the story that one day&#039;s supply of consecrated oil burned in the Temple&#039;s everlasting light for the eight days it took to get more oil after recovery of the Temple from its pagan despoilers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
