Give It a Spin

Here’s a profile of Eran Grebler, a Caesaria artist who has spent 25 years of his life making dreidels of all kinds and sells them in his shop The Draydel House - if you’ve ever strolled around the Caesaria port, you’ve popped in.

Some of his work sounds extremely creative.

There is a dreidel for married women that lists all the familiar excuses. “After 20 years of marriage I had heard it all and decided to transfer it to the dreidels,” says Grebler.

“Husbands can spin the dreidel to find out whether their wives will have a headache, whether they want to but had tough day, plus a myriad of other common excuses. The more fortunate husbands will get a “yes, sure”, or “where?”

Even the dreidel called “phrases women like to hear” is popular among visitors. The indecisive partner can spin the dreidel that will select the appropriate phrase. Among the phrases are: “You look lovely today, I love you, and a host of other superlatives.

“I also call it the kissing dreidel,” says Grebler, “because all the couples that have spun it here in the store end up kissing each other.”
