Emergency medical volunteers in Uman, Ukraine, delivered a healthy baby girl early Thursday morning near the tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, the spiritual leader of the Breslov Hasidic movement who died in 1810. United Hatzalah medics Dana Weber and Shulamit Tzarfati responded to an urgent call and arrived to find the mother in active labor.
The medics assisted with the delivery, and both mother and newborn were reported to be in good health. "I was called to a birth in progress near Rabbi Nachman's gravesite and realized the delivery was advancing rapidly," Weber recounted. "I began providing the necessary assistance to ensure the safety of both mother and baby. Within a short time, thank G-d, a healthy baby girl was born." Following the delivery, an ambulance transported mother and daughter to a local hospital for further examination and monitoring, with both in stable condition.
