The World Series of Dreidel returns to Beth Shalom this Hanukkah!

At Congregation Beth Shalom, we take the traditional game and put a little twist to it. After a 1-year hiatus, CBS’ unique and exciting World Series of Dreidel Tournament will be played December 17, 2011, with the first spin at 7:00 p.m.  Bring your friends and recall the thrill of dreidel – with a grown-up twist! 

Congregation Beth Shalom is the only place you can only play the official World Series of Dreidel. Yes, thanks to Doug Bergman and family, as he has a registered trademark on the game.

$18 buy-in gets you a stack of chips and as many visits as you can handle to the dessert buffet.  You then sit at a table and win or lose at the whim of the 4-sided top.  As play continues, antes rise, and chips accumulate to those who manage to spin plenty of gimels.

No dreidel game would be complete without gelt for the winners, but in this case local merchants are generously donating exciting prizes instead. These prizes are not just something coming out of a someone’s garage. These prizes are something you can actually walk away and say “I won this for spinning a dreidel”.

So, fun, dessert, prizes what is stopping you from coming? Oh, yes, there will be babysitting available. So, there, you have no reason not to come.
