Bialik taught Tishby that there are different outcomes to spinning and landing on each of the four sides of the dreidel.

Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik joined pro-Israel influencer and actress Noa Tishby on Friday to celebrate the third night of Hanukkah.

Tishby had previously celebrated Hanukkah with actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Mila Kunis to celebrate the first and second nights of the festival of lights, respectively.

Bialik is the third guest in her series of hosting celebrities for each night of the Jewish holiday this year. Both celebrities have regularly posted pro-Israel content on social media following Hamas's October 7 attacks.

'A sense of belonging'

Bialik described Judaism as "a sense of belonging even if you don't know where you belong."

She also told Tishby that her favorite Hanukkah traditions include "frying things year-round. And we love putting sour cream on everything."

The Big Bang Theory star taught Tishby dreidel game rules she hadn’t known before and demonstrated to the influencer that each of the dreidel’s four sides results in a different outcome when spun and landed.

Bialik compared the game to poker in betting the amount of gelt you give or receive each round, whereas the Israeli influencer thought that "you just spin it," and whosever dreidel spins the longest wins.
