Shabbat State of Mind: A Wednesday Gathering for Israeli Founders, Executives & Investors
Wednesday, June 3 | 5:30 – 7:30pm | Click here to register.
As Tech Week NYC kicks into high gear, join us for an evening that brings the best of Shabbat — community, reflection, and rest — to a Wednesday night in Manhattan. Step away from the noise of the conference circuit, settle in with good wine and great food, and make space for the kind of honest conversation that built the Startup Nation. Fox Rothschild invites Israeli founders, company leaders, and investors building, scaling and backing the next generation of technology companies to come together for a night that trades the pace of the work week for something deeper — real community and genuine connection. Whether you're forming your first U.S. entity, scaling a team through hypergrowth, navigating a growth round, or deploying capital, this is a room built for you. Expect Israeli wines, Mediterranean-inspired bites, and a room full of people who understand what it takes to build something from scratch — no panels, no pitches — just the kind of unhurried, meaningful conversation that Shabbat was made for, shared with fellow founders, executives and investors shaping the Israeli tech ecosystem in New York. Hosted By: Tamar Gubins and Sarah Biser at Fox Rothschild.

The digital assets space moves fast — and the regulatory landscape is evolving to keep pace. Whether you're launching infrastructure, deploying capital, or navigating compliance as new frameworks take shape, the next chapter belongs to the builders and investors who move boldly and stay ahead of the curve. Join Fox Rothschild and EisnerAmper for an evening of conversation and connection with the founders, executives, senior industry leaders, investors, and operators shaping the future of digital assets, fintech and blockchain. The evening will feature a brief fireside chat on the forces reshaping crypto regulation — but mostly open networking over cocktails with the builders, thought leaders and backers driving the space forward. Leave the pitch decks at home — this one's about good drinks, sharp minds, and the kind of conversation that actually moves deals and ideas forward. This is a curated gathering for founders, executives, senior industry leaders, and investors in the digital assets ecosystem. Space is limited and registration is required. Hosted By: Tamar Gubins and Stephen A. Aschettino, Partners at Fox Rothschild, and John Delalio and Chris Brodersen from EisnerAmper.
