Kvitlech, also spelled Kvitlach or Quitlok, (Yiddish: קווטלך, literally "notes", "slips")iis a game similar to blackjack played in some Jewish homes during the Hanukkah season. Hanukkah card playing was a traditional cover for Torah study, which had been outlawed for Jews by a Syrian-Greek king in the 2nd century BCE (presumably Antiochus IV Epiphanes). The original kvitlech deck consisted of 31 numbered cards, artistically colored, representing the 31 kings against whom the Israelites fought under Joshua, a biblical prelude to the Maccabean victory.
