A Mah-jongg dreidel is a modern, decorative twist on the traditional Hanukkah spinning top, blending Jewish and East Asian motifs. Typically crafted from clear or colored crystal or glass, it resembles a standard dreidel in shape but incorporates Mahjong-inspired characters or symbols on its sides, while often retaining Hebrew letters along the stem or base. These pieces are not just toys—they function as collectible art objects, bridging cultural aesthetics and appealing to both Judaica enthusiasts and fans of East Asian design. The Mah-jongg dreidel exemplifies playful cross-cultural fusion, transforming a ritual object into a conversation piece that celebrates both Jewish tradition and the artistry of Japanese or Chinese game culture.
