I had the chance to visit this hackerspace while I was in Israel in may 2015. TAMI stands for "Tel Aviv Makers International".

For the ones who don't know, a hackerspace is an area where creative people gather to talk, exchange ideas, and build stuff. The community is active with approximatively 20 members and is welcoming friends and anybody curious about the space.

TAMI is home for many activities touching hardware, electronics and woodwork, working on open-source and free software. They also practice bio-hacking as well as food hacking.

So on, TAMI is gathering like-minded people coming from everywhere that like to think, learn, teach and build. They are not only interested by computers and electronics, but also by other disciplines, such as wood-work, cooking, biology and more.
