It is not disrespectful for a non-jew to be playing dreidel - personally, I believe quite the opposite. You're teaching your children about different cultures and in a non-threatening or scary way. Because of you, your children will grow up to be understanding, thoughtful, sensitive adults, and the world will be a better place for it. You did a great job, and definitely got your facts straight!

My kids are wondering why I'm laughing ...again...at your blog. You have now moved to the top of my list of blogs that just plain make me giggle! BTW, you're a good dad for teaching your kids about other cultures and religions. If we all understood each other a little maybe we wouldn't have spent most of our human history trying to blow each other up!!! ROFLMA…I had never heard that Adam Sandler bit before!

Good for you for giving that gift to your children. I think it is important for children to learn about, and learn to respect different cultures and religions.

The local Rabbi's wife teaches at my school and brings them in for her students to play each year. The kids always look forward to it. I think it's really cool! It's a fun way to do a little cultural exchange in an area where there aren't many Jews to get to know. :) I don’t think it’s disrespectful for non-Jews to play dreidel.
