	Question 5.6: What are the origins of the Chanukah Dreidel? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Answer: Both dreidel and grogger are traditional European toys, although the names they go by in non-Jewish cultures are quite different from the ones we use.
		It turns out to be an ancient gambling toy, known in ancient Greece, and with national variations on the letters on the faces of the toy.
		They didn't ban the dreidel, though, perhaps because the "A great miracle happened there" interpretation of the letters allowed the dreidel to escape their wrath.
