In just a few days people in the United States and around the world will be celebrating Christmas 2024, but as that celebration concludes in the evening of December 25, Jewish people around the world will be beginning their observance of the eight-day Festival of Lights, Hanukkah.

In this episode of Ancient Words, Modern Message, you are invited to join Roger Wambold, Director of Hebrew Christian Fellowship, for his eighth “Bagel-side Chat.” 

There are numerous traditional observances and activities associated with the annual celebration of Hanukkah, one of which is a favorite among Jewish children, referring to the game played with a special spinning top called a dreidel.  But the dreidel is not just a toy; it is a teaching tool with which children are reminded of, and instructed about, the history of their people.  

It is this instruction and its even greater application that is the subject of this “Bagel-side Chat,”  an episode entitled, “The Tale of the Top.”  Let’s listen in. . .
