Tao Te Ching

Funding for Israeli Mental Health startups grew 150% last year, and the number of companies increased by 50% ('source: StartupNation Central). That surge in a reaction to October 7th. But what comes next? The sector is at a *crossroads*. The focus is now monetization, partnerships and go-to-market. On Sunday, February 22nd, join thought leaders, including from the US, providing insights about mental healthtech go-to-market, partnerships and investment.

בסדנה נכיר את הכלים העיקריים בתוכנה חינמית ועשירה לעיצוב וקטורי ונלמד לעצב פריטים שימושיים. נעצב יחד שני תוצרים אמיתיים - קערה ומחזיק טלפון - ונייצר אותם בלייזר. במהלך הסדנה נפתח ביטחון בעיצוב וקטורי, כך שנוכל להמשיך ולעצב באופן עצמאי בבית ולהגיע למייקלאב כדי לחתוך את העיצובים שלנו במכונת הלייזר. עלות: 250 ש"ח למבוגר/ת (לתושבי יהוד-מונוסון: 220 ש"ח למבוגר/ת.) שימו לב: לא מספיק להרשם במיטאפ יש להרשם גם בקישור הבא , שם תמצאו גם פרטים נוספים https://www.makelab.org.il/registration/inkscape

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. For our full event schedule, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com). **Other Important Details:** WiFi name/password: TBD Venue Guidelines: Please thank our hosts by purchasing something.

In this talk, I’ll share real-world lessons from production Node.js systems where adding observability actually degraded performance.

Meeting Room 2b, Main Library Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. We desire to cultivate a space where all questions are welcome and each person is treated with compassion and respect.

Topic details coming soon. AGENDA: 7:00pm - Opening announcements 7:10pm - Main Topic 7:50pm - Q&A
