Commemoration

The section of the street where the family of observer Shay Ashram, who fell in battle at Nahal Oz, lived will bear her name. The street commemorates Hanna Avrech, who also fell at the age of 19. The Avrech family gave their blessing to the commemoration initiative.

The Tavor Academy will open a new branch in Kibbutz Masada that will bear the name of Lt. Col. Eli Ginsberg. Ginsberg, a former commander of the Counter-Terrorism School, went into combat at the outbreak of the war and fell the next day. This is the second branch that Tavor has opened since October 7 in memory of a fallen soldier, following the branch in Kiryat Shmona named after Lt. Yuval Yaffe.

Kibbutz Kfar Aza developed a plan to commemorate the October 7 massacre, but the Ministry of Heritage, led by Minister Amichai Eliyahu, offered a meager budget conditional on holding veto power over the commemoration's content. The kibbutz leadership rejected this, stating the government's only claim is to the failure itself. KKL-JNF has stepped in to provide 15 million shekels for the project.
