MASK UP

Events are still happening, but be safe and please wear masks!

We weren’t sure whether to send an events newsletter this week… but then we thought this could be our last opportunity to party for a while! New regulations are set to begin on Sunday, but there’s loads of great stuff going on this weekend!  However, covid is still present and dangerous, so please make sure you wear a mask wherever you go so that we can continue to have fun in the city we love. In other words, what would Artem do??

POST OF THE WEEK

This week’s post of the week column is an enchanting mixed bag 🔮! There’s beautiful photos by Laëtitia (pic above) and Matan 📸. Cool art by Omry and Zachar 🎨. Homage to our great Olympian Artem by Elad and Ben 🥇 (and important discussions by Shira T and Shira M). And a serious message about wearing a helmet when cycling  – when we get three posts about this in 3 days maybe it’s time to strap up and take notice (thanks Yaniv, Batya, and Dafi) 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴.

This week’s lost and found included a photo from 1953 and a wallet (owner found in 34 minutes!). Aviv is looking for someone to help is elderly neighbour and Rita has a new exhibition. Our favorite writer Orion has two stories this week on his delivery escapades from the North and McDonalds 🍟. Funny video of the week prize goes to Igor 🏆, funny meme of the week prize goes to Ohad 🏆, funny story of the week prize goes to Sharon 🏆, funny pic of the week prizes goes to Limor 🏆, Sapir is looking for a new apartment, Maayan is looking for a BFF, and Mor is looking for an apartment and a BFF 🤦. At least it’s sunny ☀️ Funny melting pictures from Diz Fountain (Nir and Lis) ⛲ and this dog has the right idea 🐶! Thanks everyone for sharing ❤️!
