Special Limited Edition Delta Sevivon Special Limited Edition

Sevivon (Hebrew: סביבון) or Dreidel (Yiddish: דריידל), from Old German “Drehn”, means to turn. Thus, the Sevivon or Dreidel is a type of spinning top, which has a letter of the Hebrew alphabet printed on each of its four sides: NUN (in Hebrew: נ), GHIMEL (in Hebrew: ג), HEI (in Hebrew : ה) and SHIN (Hebrew: ש)
The four letters make up the phrase NESS GADOL HAYA SHAM, which translated says:
A MIRACLE HAPPENED THERE (that is in the land of Israel); It is a typical game of Jewish holidays, especially Hanukkah (in Hebrew: חנוכה), which is called the Festival of Lights.
What was that miracle?
In 586 BC, the first Holy Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonian Assyrians; Later, in 168 BC, King Antiochus IV Epiphanius of Syria imposed the Greek religion and customs on the Hebrew people, deciding that they abolish the observance of the Torah (the laws that continue to regulate the religious life of the Hebrews).
Many Hebrews died before betraying their faith, until the priest Mattatiah started a revolt. After a terrible war that lasted three years, Judas Maccabeus, son of Mattatiah, reconquered the Temple and took it upon himself to reconsecrate it. To do this, they had to keep the candlesticks lit for eight days and only had the oil necessary to do so for one; Miraculously, the oil lasted the eight days that the consecration festival lasted.
For this reason, during the Hanukkah festival, every night for eight days, the Hannukkia candelabra or nine-branched candelabra is lit.

The symbol of the festival is the SEVIVON or DREIDEL and the legend says that, during the Greek and, later, Roman domination, when the study of the Torah was prohibited, the Hebrews conceived the Dreidel (spinning top) as a subterfuge to disguise their study activities. .
Furthermore, Dreidel is a popular game, similar to our pirindola, in which each face specifies what has to be done with respect to a common fund, contributed by the players: Nun (do nothing, neither take nor put); Ghimel (take everything); Hei (being even, take half and being odd, take half plus one); and finally, Shin, (put one on the pile).
Furthermore, since the Hebrew alphabet has both numerical values, NUN (50), GHIMEL (3), HE (5) and SHIN (300), the sum of them forms a total of 358, which is the quantity chosen for this Special Limited Edition Delta Sevivon, which was released in 2009.
