אומנות נודדת: בעלי המלאכה שהפכו את הנדודים לבית ספר.
אוהד כהן, סתת אבן שמתמחה בשחזור קתדרלות ונדד בעולם עד שהתקבל כשולייה לתכנית יוקרתית ללימוד סיתות באבן בקתדרלה קסנטן בגרמניה, ייצא איתנו למסע מהיר אל מסורת ה-Wanderjahre: השנים שבהן בעלי מלאכה צעירים נדדו ברגל ברחבי אירופה כדי לאסוף ידע, לחדד מיומנות ולהפוך לאומנים מומחים.
למבוגרים (15+).

AI-Powered Data Analytics Innovation with Vectors, Graphs and Intent
Ready to scale your RAG, AI workloads, and search? Join us Thursday 5th March 2026 on AWS TLV Floor 28 for a content-packed session in collaboration with AWS about using OpenSearch for AI-Powered Data Analytics and modern search methods: Semantic Search, S3 Vectors and GraphRAG.
Please register here: https://aws-experience.com/emea/tel-aviv/event/0c9fcbcd-8629-4e99-b4b0-fbca41b978c4
\* How to go beyond Keyword Search with OpenSearch
\* Modernizing Retrieval with Semantic Search and Query Intent Understanding
\* Hybrid search and Agentic RAG
\* Knowledge Graphs, GraphRAG, and Neuro-Symbolic AI
\* Structured intelligence for GenAI
\* Amazon S3 Vectors for vector search at billion scale
Agenda:
**Beyond Keyword Search - Modernize Retrieval with Semantic Search and Beyond with OpenSearch,** Itamar Syn-Hershko, BigData Boutique
Explore how semantic search transforms information retrieval by understanding meaning and context rather than just matching keywords. Learn how OpenSearch's vector engine enables sub-second semantic search across billions of vectors combined with text-search, powering intelligent applications from recommendation engines to conversational search experiences. We'll also discuss sparse vs dense vector embeddings, using LLMs to derive and leverage query intent, and more.
**Unlocking Structured Intelligence for Generative AI with Knowledge Graphs, GraphRAG and Neuro-Symbolic AI,** Baruch Assif Osoveskiy, AWS
Discover how knowledge graphs enhance Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) by providing structured, interconnected information for more accurate and explainable AI responses. Learn how GraphRAG combines the power of graph databases with large language models to deliver contextually rich, grounded answers.
**OpenSearch + Amazon S3 Vectors - Cost-Optimized AI-Ready Storage,** Roi Gamliel, AWS
Learn how Amazon S3 Vectors introduces native vector support at cloud scale, reducing storage and query costs by up to 90% compared to traditional vector databases. Discover how to store billions of vectors with sub-second query performance while leveraging S3's industry-leading durability and scalability.

Philosophy Group Meeting -- Hebrew
Join us in the search for the true, the good and the beautiful.
Each meet is in one of two formats: a shared reading and open discussion of philosophical texts, or a continuing series of lectures based on the reading of a fascinating book of philosophy. Both formats are in Hebrew, with some reading of English texts, assisted whenever needed.
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.

Shut Up & Write!® at Beit Ariela
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. 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. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
**A note about the format**
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Oscar International Nominee: SIRAT at the Gateway Film Center
Join us as we get together to see SIRAT, an Oscar-nominated Best International Film from Spain that follows a father, accompanied by his son, goes looking for his missing daughter in North Africa. Here’s a description, trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: A father, accompanied by his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco while searching for his daughter who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. As their search continues, the journey forces them to confront their own limits. The film is directed by Oliver Laxe and stars Sergi Lopez, Bruno Nunez Arjona and Richard Bellamy.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww-IXHXvS70
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: SIRAT has already won numerous awards, including 4 at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, along with the Chicago, Montclair and Toronto International Film Festivals! It also earned a whopping 11 nominations at the 40th Goya Awards, including Best Film and Director, and was nominated for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound at this year’s Academy Awards. The film is earning a stellar 92% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes which calls it “an unforgettable exercise in tension” and “a brutal reminder that the journey can be more important than the destination.”
PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and we’ll meet inside the upstairs lobby between 6:40 and 6:50pm. Super Tuesday ticket price is just $6.50 (including online fee)! Advance ticket purchase is advised (via Gateway website preferred). Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event! This one will be a “movie only” event.
PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
