Students of Kabbalah, who thrive on finding and interpreting symbols, read the dreidel as a comment on the struggle between the rational, physical, and spiritual forces within everyone.  Which one will win out?  
		 
  					Nun ( ) - nefesh, soul 
					Gimmel ( ) - guf, body 
					Hey ( ) - sechel, mind 
					Shin ( ) - hakol, all
  
					There are soaring moments when the soul dominates, when corporeal material desires carry more weight, when cool calculating logic rules, but nothing compares to the harmony of all aspects working together.
