They are essentially a little spinning top
used by young Jewish people over Channukah. The 4 sides are four aramaic letters that represent an acronym for Nes Gadol Haya Sham. Which means, "A Great thing happened there".
In Israel, they actually say Nes Gadol Haya Po, which means a great thing happened here, as the miracle they refer to, which was the resurection of the temple occured in Israel.

I actually have a few of them somewhere as I used to work
for a Jewish company, and they often bought me them for hannukah, which I thought was nice of them.
