With Chanukkah fast approaching it's time to think of gifts for your loved ones. Nothing says "I care" more than a beautiful, hand-crafted dreidel from Hyman's Judaica. Israeli artisans have overlooked no detail and are proud to present this numbered, limited edition dreidel that is sure to become a cherished family heirloom through the generations.
Look carefully at the gorgeous craftmanship.....the spindle and upper plate have been knurled and polished to a mirror finish. The side panel artwork by Moishe Ben Levitan has been commissioned expressly for use on the SpinMaster3000 and the original molds are on permanent display at the Beir Sheebah Museum of Modern Art! The tapered bottom panels have been Swiss-bevelled and the spin point has been laser sharpened to 15 microns.
The dreidel itself is composed entirely of 100% Sterling silver with precision engineered gyroscopic action and a floating beryllium core (pat. pend.) for double the spin life compared to that of a standard model. It will undoubtedly provide hours of fun and a lifetime of memories.
Similar works of functional art can be purchased at auction for more than a thousand dollars but by ordering today through The Blob the SpinMaster3000 can be yours for only 5 easy payments of $99.99 (tax, shipping, handling, customs duty and a little something extra for the wife not incl.)

I feel sort of proud that a conversation at our house might have inspired you to design the Spinmaster 3000. It has all the earmarks of a winner. You will be receiving my order shortly. After all, my daughter is practically married to (an admittedly non-practicing) Jew so, in order to make him feel welcome, I'll be leaving him a Spinmaster 3000 under our Xmas tree this year, along with a Willy Waller 2006 to put in his glove compartment. Thanks for relieving some of my Xmas shopping anxiety, Blob!
Yes Vivvy, you and your husband were indeed the catalysts and inspiration for the dreidel post after our inspiring breakfast chat. I thank you.
BTW non-practicing, non-schmacticing!! The boyfriend is a Jew and no amount of sugar coating will change the fact...get used to it. In a few years you may be having people over to your house so they can watch your grandson getting circumsized. (I'll bring a cheesecake)
Slapcoff -
Your dreidel's CRAP.
I'll take three.
Blob -
I'm a little concerned with your use of the term
"knurled", especially regarding the upper plate of your dreidel [which looks to be of excellent quality, mind you].
Knurling involves endowing a surface with ridges
or beads. Perhaps the word you wanted was
"burnished". Try that.
I'll be back tomorrow.
"the spindle and upper plate have been knurled and polished to a mirror finish." should have read: "The knurled spindle and die cast upper plate have been polished to a mirror finish" Thanks for the heads-up and free proof read Kent, here's a sentence I'm having a bit of trouble with, perhaps you could help: "The pedantic wordsmith in a pathetic attempt to impress his friends at a party shoved 15 burnished dreidels up his ass." Is that a proper or acceptable use of the word "burnished"?
The picture you paint of the future doesn't look too appealing to me, Blob. What can I do to avoid this catastrophe? Is there any way that my grandson could avoid the knife? Assuming this hypothetical marriage comes true, that is? What are the odds that a Jewish parent would agree to letting nature (in the form of a penis) be? I'm asking you as an expert.
Hey Vivvy,
Bleak future? CATASTROPHE?? It's not as though they'll be cutting out one of your potential grandson's lungs is it? I know that there's a heated debate going on about the merits of circumcision...the pros and cons, aesthetics,health issues, sensitivity issues etc. but I'm gonna stay out of the fray. Suffice to say that while your daughter's boyfriend is "non- practicing" he may still want his son's weiner to look like his own as have all Jewish dad's throughout the millenia. The odds of your little Aaron or Schmuelly being uncut are as slim as a mohel's(circumciser guy's) scalpel blade. If it will set your mind at ease I've included the results of a recent African health study that is 100% authentic:
BACKGROUND: Observational studies suggest that male circumcision may provide protection against HIV-1 infection. A randomized, controlled intervention trial was conducted in a general population of South Africa to test this hypothesis. CONCLUSION: Male circumcision provides a degree of protection against acquiring HIV infection, equivalent to what a vaccine of high efficacy would have achieved. Male circumcision may provide an important way of reducing the spread of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa. (Preliminary and partial results were presented at the International AIDS Society 2005 Conference, on 26 July 2005, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.).
