TOYLAND: While just about anything goes when it comes to Hanukkah gift-giving, some parents opt to give their young religious presents with a special meaning. That gift is the dreidel, a top-like toy that has been used during time of religious repression as a way of passing an oral history of the faith to children. . . .
