Rosh Hashana 5775 and the new year ushered in a record number of new babies. Maayanei Hayeshua hospital in Bnei Brak reported that 140 women gave birth over the holiday, a number that well exceeds the daily average of between 30-35 births.
United Hatzalah emergency response service reported that in the 24 hours following the holiday, volunteer EMTs delivered a record five babies in Jerusalem and the surrounding area to women who did not reach the hospital on time.

The baby was not breathing as a result of the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck but the EMT was able to save the baby’s life. In another instance that occurred just after 9 a.m., another United Hatzalah EMT delivered a baby in a taxi to a mother from Ramot that was on her way to the hospital.
