Harris Beber’s entrepreneurial instincts developed while hustling lemonade on the streets of his hometown in Long Island as a tyke. Soon enough, he was hustling corporate clients as a salesman for 1-800-Flowers and founding Giftback.com, a company that gives 10 percent of sales of a wide range of gifts to the charity of the customer’s choice. Despite some bumps in the road—a grounded cargo of Valentines Day chocolates and pink teddy bears, for one—Giftback.com has been providing him with spiritual and financial rewards ever since. Leave it to a Jew to create a legitimate and profitable website based on re-gifting.
