Batya Rubin, mother of fallen Golani soldier Amichai Rubin, announced a memorial project — a new study hall named 'Mishkan Amichai' at the Avner preparatory academy in Acre. Amichai, 23, was killed in action on October 7, 2023, while fighting Hamas terrorists at his outpost with the 51st Battalion, Golani Brigade, after sustaining multiple wounds.
Batya Rubin, the mother of fallen IDF soldier Amichai Rubin, is publicly launching a memorial initiative in Acre to establish 'Mishkan Amichai' — a new study hall at the Avner pre-military preparatory academy (Mechinat Avner Akko), the institution where her son was educated before his enlistment.
Amichai Rubin, 23 at his death, served as a fighter in the 51st Battalion of the Golani Brigade. On October 7, 2023 (Simchat Torah 5784), he fought Hamas terrorists who attacked his outpost. Despite sustaining multiple wounds, he continued fighting until succumbing to his injuries two days later.
In an open letter, Rubin's parents, Batya and Yishai Rubin, wrote that they chose to memorialize their son through the construction of the study hall as a continuation of his values — Torah, responsibility, love for Israel, and giving. The project is crowd-funded via Givechak, and the family has invited the public to participate.
No further details on costs, timelines, or scale of the project were provided in the announcement.
