Dan, from 1 to 10, how would you rate your gifting talent?

Maybe a 7. You? The most stressful day of the year is my wife's birthday. But for the sake of Shlomba, let's just leave it at that. You have it easy, Alain, you're Israeli, so you don't have to face the stress of holiday gifting around Hanukkah. Right, right, because we just give out some Sufganiot and call it a day. Right? Eight days of gifts.

Well, this year, we just give out some Sufganiote and call it a day. Right? Eight days of gifts. Well, this year we're making Hanukkah gifting a whole lot easier by giving the gift of Inside Call Me Back to a friend or family member or colleague. You'll also be supporting what we do here at Arc Media. So follow the link in the show notes and gift a subscription to Inside Call Me Back.

And here's the kicker.

To those who gift eight subscriptions or more, Dan will send you a personalized copy of his most recent book, The Genius of Israel.

Just let us know who you'd like him to dedicate it to.

When did we discuss this?

We just did, Dan.

Okay, then bring it.

Just follow the link right here in the show notes

and send your Hanukkah gift now.
