Warning: while the video below looks like it was produced in 1942 with Internet gerbils spinning a fiber-optic power wheel, it’s not. Major League Dreidel exists, people participate–there’s one guy who calls himself the “Spintuation” (get it?)– and believe it or not, I’m actually devoting a section of my book to trying to understand the importance of these kinds of ironically Jewish competitions and events. For now, though, please enjoy the sight of a plastic toy munching on a potato pancake.
