Question
A new name for these objects was created by Itamar Ben-Avi, who also changed a symbol on them from meaning “there” to “here.” Tzvi Elimelech (“TSVEE ell-EE-mell-eck”) compared the top-down usage of these objects to holding a grogger from the bottom. The USCJ popularized an English song about one of these objects made of clay that must be “dry and ready.” These objects are used to win a collection of candy coins called chocolate gelts. Symbols on these objects like nun and gimel were inspired by the phrase “a great miracle happened there,” which refers to the miracle of the oil in the Second Temple. For 10 points, name this spinning top played with during Hanukkah. ■END■
