Shopping[]
A modest but distinctive souvenir is a dreidel, known as a sevivon (סביבון) in Hebrew. Dreidels are four-sided spinning tops with four Hebrew letters (nun, gimel, hei, and shin) considered to represent the phrase "A great miracle happened there" — but in Israel, they have the letter peh instead of shin, to represent "A great miracle happened here". This means that an Israeli sevivon is different from dreidels sold elsewhere, and it's a souvenir with symbolism deeply linked to Jewish culture.
