This post is dedicated to Hanukkah, which begins in the coming week. And no, I am no pessimist; I just happen to love the Hebrew letter shin.
In the Hanukkah game of spin the dreidel, shin indicates when a player has to take a piece of gelt or a coin (or, when I was a kid in Hebrew school, some M&M's) from their own stash and add it to the collective pot. The Hebrew letter gimmel (not displayed) indicates when a player wins everything in the collective pot.
May you have a Happy Hanukkah, and may the new year of 2015 bring you many "gimmel moments" of good health, prosperity, and joy.
