With aspirations to set our own new Chanukah record, Yeshivat Noam Elementary School students gathered together for Dreidelpalooza. Inspired by Yeshiva University’s Guinness record setting dreidel spinning event in 2010, approximately 500 Yeshivat Noam students and teachers gathered together on the gym floor, each armed with a dreidel. As the countdown began from five to one, anticipation and excitement grew as approximately 500 dreidels swirled throughout the room, eyes cheerfully watched as an unofficial record had been accomplished.
