Quotes by Norma Simon (?)

“Like the Maccabees, most people want the right to pray to God in their own way. This right is called freedom of religion. The spirit of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is shared by all people who love freedom.”

“A dreidel is a four-sided top with a Hebrew letter on each side. The letters are Nun, Gimmel, Hay and Shin, which stand for the phrase "Nes Gadol Haya Sham," or "A Great Miracle Happened There." In Israel dreidels have the letters Nun, Gimmel, Hay and Peh, which stands for "A Great Miracle Happened Here.”
