Baby boom in hospitals: Israel welcomes the year 5787
The new Hebrew year, 5787, began in a festive and emotional atmosphere in hospitals across the country. As the year began, many babies were brought into the world, making the holiday an unforgettable moment for many families in Israel.
Rambam Hospital in Haifa saw particularly brisk activity in the very first hours of the year. The first birth at the hospital took place at 8:21 PM, shortly after the holiday began. The excitement in the delivery rooms grew when, just 20 minutes later, another baby was born.
The wave continued shortly thereafter, and within another 20 minutes, two more babies were born at the hospital. The medical teams, who worked throughout the holiday, noted that it was a joyful and special start to the new year.
For the new parents, giving birth on the eve of Rosh Hashanah is a symbol of a new beginning and hope for the future. Other hospitals across the country also reported many births throughout the night, turning the start of 5787 into a true "baby boom."
Many parents expressed great excitement that their children were born on such a symbolic date. For the families, it is the greatest gift they could have asked for in honor of the new year, and they are beginning 5787 with an exciting new addition to the family.
