Baby girl born in northern Israel marks first birth of Jewish New Year 5787
"She had a natural birth without pain medication and cooperated amazingly throughout the entire process," said Shift Supervisor and Deputy Midwife Tahrir Masalha.
On Friday, a baby girl marked the first birth of the Jewish New Year 5787 at North Medical Center in northern Israel. Hodiya Cohen-Alilishvili, 39 weeks pregnant, gave birth to her daughter, who weighed just over 3 kilograms. The newborn arrived at the hospital directly from a Rosh Hashanah celebration with her husband Tal and her 2.5-year-old daughter.
The family had been staying at Cohen-Alilishvili's parents' home in Tiberias when she began experiencing contractions. Midwife Tahrir Masalha, the shift supervisor, attended to the mother, who was described as calm and determined. Cohen-Alilishvili delivered her baby naturally without the use of pain medication and cooperated well throughout the process.
Masalha expressed that for the entire team, there is no better way to start the new year than with the birth of a new life. The midwife added that it was a great privilege to be present during such a special moment, especially at the beginning of a new year filled with joy and hope.
