DREIDEL

Dreidel is a traditional Jewish play, typical of Hanukkah

The Dreidel (Yiddish) or Sevivon (Hebrew), is a four-sided spinning top, with a Hebrew letter inscribed on each side. Assembling the letters you can have the sentence "A great miracle happened there" as well as "A great miracle happened here", referring to the miracle of the oil that took place in the Beit Hamikdash.

Some say the Dreidel game is played to commemorate a game devised by the Jews to camouflage the studying of the Torah, which was outlawed by the Greeks and the Romans.
This is the reason why it's a traditional play, specially on Hanukkah.

The pens

Delta made two different models for celebrating this tradition:
Dreidel, numbered edition, and Sevivon, Limited Edition in celluloid.

Dreidel is made in hand turmed special resin. Pink, white and blue are pearly marmorized colors; black is glossy plain color.

The Dreidel hidden in the cap top is made in rhodiated metal, like the clip with rotating ball. The cap's internal compartment is decorated with David star.

The central ring is in sterling silver, decored on relief with Delta's classic designs.
Screw cap, cartridge/converter filling system, 14 Kt gold nib.

Note: there are two models of Dreidel. One is only cartridge filled, the other one (this one we sell) features both cartridges and converter.
