What to Binge: I’ve been hooked on Fauda, a series in which an Israeli agent comes out of retirement to hunt for a Palestinian militant he thought he’d killed. The riveting story is told from both sides of the checkpoints. The show will take about five minutes to hook you, and not much longer to depict the hopelessness of the never-ending hate and fighting. It’s now available on Netflix.

+ What to Conference: Few people put on a conference as well as John Battelle of NewCo. I’ll be attending a very timely Executive Conference on Capitalism at a Crossroads in San Francisco in February. There will be a killer lineup of speakers from big and small organizations. Several of them are my friends — Tyler Florence, Julie Hanna, Daniel Lurie, Kara Goldin — and I guarantee they’ll all be great (no pressure). Come to think of it, why the hell aren’t I speaking there? I’ll work on that, in the meantime, if you’re interested, NextDraft readers can save a grand by signing up here.

+ What to Watch: Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest guitar players ever. In this short documentary, he shares the stories of his six favorite six-stringed instruments. If you like guitars, you will love this.

+ What to Gift: My wife has put together a gift list over that The What: 12 Gifts for Perennials, a curious people. (Our kids’ Hanukkah list is not nearly as interesting, but it is considerably longer)
