Indies Meet CPA
**שאלו רו״ח כל דבר על כסף, מיסים והקמת עסק משחקים בישראל, וכו׳**
אפשר לשאול שאלות מראש בלינק הבא:
https://forms.gle/aef3k8JsagyB2Xyw5
זהו מפגש שאלות ותשובות עם משה כהן, רואה חשבון, על איך לנהל את ההיבטים הפיננסיים של הקמת וניהול סטודיו/חברת משחקים בישראל.
נדבר על נושאים כמו:
* איך לבנות מבנה מתאים לסטודיו (פרילנסר מול חברה)
* מיסוי למפתחי אינדי וצוותים קטנים
* מה המשמעות של מודלי הכנסה שונים (Steam, מובייל, פבלישרים וכו’) מול רשות המיסים
* ניהול הוצאות, חוזים וחלוקת רווחים
* עבודה עם צוותים מרחוק ושיתופי פעולה בינלאומיים
אם אתם מפתחי משחקים עצמאיים, שוקלים להקים סטודיו, לגייס כסף ולבנות צוות, בוחנים מודלים להכנסות, או פשוט סקרנים לגבי הצד הפיננסי של עולם המשחקים - משה יענה על השאלות שלכם.

Claude Code Efficiency: Do More, Spend Less
🍕 **18:00 – 18:30** · **Gathering, Pizza & Drinks**
📣 **18:30 – 18:45** · **Welcome + Latest Claude Updates** · Boaz Ziniman - Claude Israel User Group
💻 **18:45 – 19:15** · **Claude + AWS: New Ways to Build Together** · Eitan Sela - Principal GenAI/ML Specialist Solutions Architect @ Amazon Web Services
Discover how Anthropic's Claude tools integrate with AWS to unlock new ways of working. We'll explore Claude Code, the agentic coding assistant that lives in your terminal, powered by Amazon Bedrock, and Claude CoWork, Anthropic's agentic AI that lets anyone delegate knowledge work like reports, spreadsheets, and file organization from the Claude desktop app. Through a live demo, we'll connect Claude Code to AWS services via AgentCore Gateway and MCP servers, showing how developers can access tools dynamically with a single connection. Whether you code or don't, this session shows how Claude and AWS work better together.
👾 **19:15 – 19:45** · **Shipping with Claude: Lessons From Real Projects** · Ran Isenberg - AWS Hero, Principal Software Architect @ Palo Alto Networks
I ship with Claude every day, on my personal brand website, home projects, and my daily job. I am not a Claude master, but the LinkedIn flood about the latest Claude bells and whistles misses the point. The tool matters far less than the person holding it. Using it correctly, with the right configurations and state of mind, is what moves the needle.
In this talk I will share the setup and insights that help me deliver. We will cover real Claude Code and Cowork use cases, how to expand both with community and custom skills, and how AI SDLC frameworks like BMAD bring structure to this non-deterministic domain. Everything is grounded in real projects and will be shareable.
🍻 **19:45 – 20:00** · Drinks & Geek Out
Claude User Group Israel 🇮🇱. A joint meetup with the AWS User Group Israel, hosted at the AWS office in Tel Aviv.
Claude Code is powerful, but if you’re not careful, it burns tokens fast. This session is about working smarter: how to structure your prompts, manage context, and get more done per session without watching your costs spike.
We’ll cover practical techniques developers are using right now, from reducing unnecessary context to getting Claude Code to produce better output on the first try.
Talks and topics will be announced shortly. RSVP now to hold the date.
**Who should come?**
Developers actively using Claude Code who want to get more out of it. This is not a general AI overview, we’re going straight into the workflows.
**Venue capacity is 200. Seats are first come, first served - arrive early to avoid missing out.**

Philosophy Group Meeting -- Hebrew
Join us in the search for the true, the good and the beautiful.

We meet weekly Friday on 80 Rokach Boulevard, Tel Aviv, at the gardens of the Council for a Beautiful Israel.
Welcome anyone interested in understanding life more deeply, regardless of age or prior knowledge. The love of wisdom is enough.

Art & Craft Maker Meetup
**Get your creative flow going with a Sunday Afternoon Maker Meetup!**
Whether you are looking to carve out dedicated creative time, wanting to get a lingering project across the finish line, or just looking to chat with fellow local makers—this is the space for you.
🧵 **What to Bring**
Bring any art or craft project you are currently working on, as long as it is portable and quiet. Think:
* **Yarn & Thread:** Knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross-stitch, hand-sewing, mending.
* **Paper & Sketching:** Sketchbooks, adult coloring books, watercolors, bullet journaling.
* **Digital:** Tablets, iPad drawing, laptop writing/design.
* *Please note: Because we are meeting in a shared public space, no power tools, sewing machines, or high-odor materials (like strong solvents or spray glues), please!*
**📍 Where to Find Us**
* We will be meeting at **Columbus Metropolitan Library - Martin Luther King Branch** in **Meeting Room 1**. Room is reserved under **CBUS Maker Meetup.**
**⏱️ Timeline**
* **1:00 PM:** Arrive, grab a seat, get settled, and do a quick round of introductions so we can see what everyone is working on.
* **1:15 PM - 3:00 PM:** Open maker time! Chat, craft, relax, and swap creative ideas.
**⚠️ A Note on RSVPs**
Space for this first meetup is strictly limited to 10 spots.
If your plans change and you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP to "Not Going" as soon as possible so someone on the waitlist can grab your spot. We ask that you try to give at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel.
***
**We can't wait to meet you and see what you're making! All skill levels welcome.**
Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator.
Per what this group is about:
"Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."
Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* There's a restroom along the route at [Tuttle Park Community Center](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KTZJgLE1CrrbRNmJ7), which is about two‑thirds of the way from [Clinton-Como Park](https://maps.app.goo.gl/z8Cx8evwLiWundMe8) to our [turnback point](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZXk7qUVszLQ8EJxHA).
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
