On Chanukah, we play with a dreidel. On Purim we make noise with a gragger. We spin both. The gragger, we spin from below and the dreidel, we spin from above. What does this teach us?
On Purim we were saved by the faith of a courageous woman, Queen Esther, who approached a human king. On Chanukah, we were saved by the courageous Maccabees, who put their faith in the Divine King. On Purim, we were saved from below, on Chanukah, from above.
