問題詳情
IV.Reading Comprehension (16%)There have been times in history when Jewish people were being held by, or surrounded by, enemies whowould not let them study and practice their religion or faith. In order to keep their beliefs alive, they would sometimes get together and play with the dreidel. It would look like they were innocently having fun, but really they were also studying or talking about the Torah. The Torah is the collection of scrolls, which contain the basic scriptures of the Jewish religion and law.Today the tradition of the dreidel continues. The dreidel is a four-sided spinning top with one Hebrew letter printed on each side. The Hebrew letter nun starts the word nes, which means “miracle.” The Hebrew letter gimmel starts the word gadol, which means “great” The Hebrew letter hey starts the word haya, which means “was.” The Hebrew letter shin starts the word sham, which means “there.” Of course, then, the words together mean “a great miracle happened there.” That message reminds those who are playing the dreidel game of the Hanukkah story.The dreidel can be used in a variety of ways. Sometimes children like to have contests to see who can spin the most dreidels at the same time. Other times they just like to see who can spin the dreidel the longest. On other occasions, children like to guess the letter on which the dreidel will stop spinning.
