and Thanksgiving are times of joy and giving.

This year, as a way of spreading awareness about Hebrew and this Daily Dose, I’m giving away my brand-new ebook, Hebrew Described, to you and your friends and family. It’s a collection of Hebrew adjectives and expressions, selected from the entries of this blog over the past four years.

Special thanks to Eytan Kessler for making this publication possible.

Now, here’s the catch – you can get this סֵפֶר אֶלֶקְטְרוֹנִי only by sharing it. To do so, fill out this form.

Free is חִנָּם

For free is בְּחִנָּם

For example:

סֵפֶר אֶלֶקְטְרוֹנִי בְּחִנָּם!

A free (for free) ebook!

חֲנֻכָּה שָׂמֵחַ!

Happy Hanukkah!
