Could it have been conducted differently? How do the ideas we hold shape our lives? October 7th, the way many states and universities responded to it, and the grinding war that followed should raise urgent questions for any thinking Israeli who cares about their life, their freedom, and the country they live in. **AYN RAND Con TLV** will take on the hard questions, cut to their intellectual core, and present a worldview fundamentally different from what you hear today. Through Ayn Rand’s distinctive philosophy—treating freedom, individualism, and human reason as exalted values—our speakers will analyze the war in Gaza. They will argue why secularism, a rational moral code, and a deep love of human life demand a decisive, uncompromising defeat of the enemy. You will encounter a new way to look at the war and at Israel—and, more fundamentally, a radically different way to think about your own life and happiness. This is a first-of-its-kind event in Israel, featuring speakers and experts from around the world. It is for people who take ideas, truth, and justice seriously. It is for people whose lives matter to them. If that’s you—especially if you’re young—this conference is for you. **Reserve your seat early.** **Featured speakers:** * **Tal Tsfany** — President & CEO, Ayn Rand Institute * **Dr. Aaron Smith** — PhD (Philosophy); Senior Fellow & Educator, Ayn Rand Institute * **Dr. Nikos Sotirakopoulos** — PhD (Sociology & Politics); Lecturer & Writer, Ayn Rand Institute * **Boaz Arad** — Founder & CEO, Ayn Rand Center Israel * **Mosab Hassan Yousef (“The Green Prince”)** — Exclusive live Zoom interview * Additional speakers to be announced. **Agenda:** **8:00 AM – Arrival & Registration** **9:00 AM – Opening Remarks – Tal Tsfany** **9:15 AM – Israel’s Moral Right to Exist as a Free, Western Nation – Nikos Sotirakopoulos** **10:00 AM – Objectivism: A Philosophy of Life for the Living – Aaron Smith** **10:45 AM – Coffee Break** **11:00 AM – Philosophy and Happiness – Tal Tsfany** **11:50 AM – Panel: How Rand’s Ideas Impacted My Life – Michael Kauffman, Guy Gavrieli, Iyar Raichel, Itamar Feldman** **12:30 PM – Lunch Break** **1:15 PM – Q&A Panel** **1:55 PM – Elan Journo conducts a Zoom interview with the “Green Prince” Mosab Hassan Yousef** **3:00 PM – Closing Remarks – Tal Tsfany** [Please sign up here](https://tickchak.co.il/93164?ref=nwc) עברית: **[הרשמה באתר](https://tickchak.co.il/90051)** **AYN RAND Con TLV — דרך חדשה לניצחון** **מקום:** מוזאון נחום גוטמן לאמנות, תל-אביב למה המלחמה נמשכת כל כך הרבה זמן? האם היינו יכולים לנהל אותה אחרת? כיצד הרעיונות שאנחנו מחזיקים מעצבים את חיינו? השבעה באוקטובר, האופן שבו מדינות ואוניברסיטאות רבות הגיבו לו, והמלחמה הנגררת שהתנהלה מאז—כל אלה צריכים לעורר שאלות דחופות אצל כל ישראלי חושב שאכפת לו מהחיים שלו, מהחופש שלו, ומהמדינה שבה הוא חי. **AYN RAND Con TLV** יעסוק בשאלות הקשות, יחתור לליבה האינטלקטואלית שלהן, ויציג השקפת עולם השונה מהותית ממה ששומעים היום. באמצעות הפילוסופיה הייחודית של איין ראנד—הרואה בחירות, אינדיבידואליזם ותבונת האדם ערכים נשגבים—הדוברים שלנו ינתחו את המלחמה בעזה. הם יטענו מדוע דווקא חילוניות, מוסריות ואהבת חיי אדם מחייבות הכרעה נחושה ובלתי-מתפשרת של האויב. תוצג לכם דרך אחרת להביט על המלחמה ועל ישראל—ובעומק רב יותר, דרך שונה בתכלית להתבונן על החיים והאושר האישי שלכם. זהו אירוע ייחודי וראשון מסוגו בישראל, עם דוברים ומומחים מרחבי העולם. הוא מיועד למי שמתייחס לרעיונות, לאמת ולצדק ברצינות. הוא מיועד לאנשים שחייהם חשובים להם. אם אתם כאלה—ובמיוחד אם אתם צעירים—הכנס הזה בשבילכם. **הבטיחו את מקומכם ורכשו כרטיסים מוקדם.** **בין הדוברים:** * **טל צפאני** — מנכ״ל ונשיא מכון איין ראנד (ARI) * **ד״ר אהרן סמית׳** — דוקטור לפילוסופיה; חוקר ומרצה בכיר במכון איין ראנד * **ד״ר ניקוס סוטירקופולוס** — דוקטור לסוציולוגיה ופוליטיקה; מרצה וכותב במכון איין ראנד * **בועז ארד** — מייסד ומנכ״ל מרכז איין ראנד בישראל * **מסעב חסן יוסף (“הנסיך הירוק”)** — ראיון זום בלעדי לכנס תוכניה: * **08:00** **פתיחת דלתות והרשמה** * **08:45** **דברי פתיחה - טל צפאני** * **09:10** **הזכות המוסרית של ישראל להתקיים מהיותה מדינה חופשית ומערבית - ניקוס סוטיראקופולוס** * **10:00** **איך הפילוסופיה של איין ראנד רלוונטית לישראל - אהרון סמית׳** * **10:45** **הפסקה** * **11:00** **התמורה על ההשקעה בפילוסופיה: פילוסופיה ואושר - טל צפאני** * **11:50** **פאנל: איך רעיונותיה של איין ראנד השפיעו על חיי - מייקל קאופמן, אייר רייכל, איתמר פלדמן, גיא גבריאלי** * **12:30** **ארוחת צהריים** * **13:15** **פאנל שאלות ותשובות** * **13:55** **ראיון זום עם ״הנסיך הירוק״ מסאב חסן יוסף. מראיין: אילן ג׳ורנו** * **15:00** **דברי סיום - טל צפאני** **[הרשמה באתר](https://tickchak.co.il/90051)**

This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area. When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready.

Книжный клуб по произведению Чехова "Палата номер 6". Мы обсудим произведение, обменяемся мнениями и попробуем глубже понять и почувствовать о чем написал автор. Я придерживаюсь позиции, что нет неравильных и правильных мнений на литературу :)

$5 MOVIE NIGHT! With avatar fire and Ash, James Cameron takes audiences back to Pandora in an immersive new adventure with marine turned Navi leader Jake Sully. Navi Warrior, Naytiri and the Solly family. The film has a screenplay by James Cameron and Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. We will see the 6 PM showing and I will post my seat so that we can sit together. We can grab something to eat after if people want and chat to round out the experience. This is a MUST SEE MOVIE for me. I hope you feel the same. I will CANCEL if there are less than 5 RSVPs on the movie date.

We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!

Join us as we get together to see an Opening Night showing of the highly anticipated epic fantasy-adventure, AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH! We’ll make this one of our rare 3D movie events! James Cameron returns to direct the 3rd film in the acclaimed series which should be another visually stunning adventure! Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: One year after settling in with the Metkayina Clan, Jake and Neytiri's family encounter a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe called the Ash People, led by the fiery tribe leader, Varang, who has allied with Jake's enemy, Quaritch, as the conflict on Pandora escalates to devastating consequences. The film is directed (and co-written) by James Cameron and stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Kate Winslet who all return to reprise their roles from previous films. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-vO43w1xXg PLAN: Details for this event have already been confirmed! Please purchase your ticket for the 6:00pm showing at Cinemark Polaris and meet inside the theater lobby between 5:30 and 5:45pm! This event will sell out so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! Once you do, please list your seat number in the Comments below! NOTE ON LOCATION: This one took some time to sort out! Ticket prices for a 3D showing at the various theaters range from $11 to $22+ in a range of theater sizes from tiny/intimate to large auditoriums. Because advance ticket sales have already started, many locations/showtimes are already half-full! So, we went with a showtime (6pm) and seating suitable for a long (3-hr) movie, middle-of-the-pack pricing, and a large enough theater with little/no pre-sales that (hopefully) won’t sell out too quickly. And, did I mention luxury seating! That said, you’ll want to purchase your tickets as soon as possible! Should be a fun one, Dan

Join us as we get together for an Oscar Watch film that’s also one of the year’s best: MARTY SUPREME! Timothee Chalamet delivers a “career-best performance” in this film that follows a young man with a dream no one respects, who goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness. Marty Supreme has already been named a Top 10 Film of the Year by IndieWire, Vulture, the BBC, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair, the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute and is well on its way to being one of the most nominated films at this year’s Oscars! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: This ping pong drama is set in New York City during the 1950s where table tennis star Marty goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness. It is loosely based on the life of famed table tennis player Marty Reisman. The film is directed (and co-written) by Josh Safdie and stars Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYSHiII4D-Y EARLY BUZZ & REVIEWS: The film premiered to “overwhelmingly positive” reviews at this year’s New York Film Festival! Timothee Chalamet immediately shot to the top of the Best Actor race with a “career best performance” in a film described as an “awe inspiring cinematic tour-de-force!” Others call it, “an absolute blast of adrenaline” and a “pure delight,” “that soars from start to finish!” The film is earning a Certified Fresh 96% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where Variety calls it, “one of the year’s few masterpieces!” Slash Film declares, “This is unquestionably the best performance of Timothée Chalamet's career, and Marty Supreme is one of the best movies of the year. I can't wait to watch it again!” PLAN: We’ll plan for a 4pm-ish showing and will meet inside the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but be sure to mention you're with the Movie Group for admission and concession discounts! Complete details will be confirmed and announced as the date gets closer. BRUNCH BEFORE THE SHOW: We'll plan for Brunch before the show at the Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall, located a short distance away. Movie is open as long as tickets are available. Seating is limited so separate RSVP required for the Brunch portion of this event. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
