This week, Hanna Gitel Yairish, a 40-year-old Chabad Hasidim, a new immigrant from Odessa, Ukraine, arrived at the maternity emergency room of the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera, when she was 38 weeks pregnant. Yairish immigrated to Israel from Berlin, where she fled following the war in Ukraine, about three months ago - together with her husband Shmuel and their 13 children, when she was six months pregnant. Hanna Gitel was quickly taken to the delivery room, where midwife Naomi Cohen received her. In a short time, she gave birth to a healthy baby weighing 3.998 kg. After giving birth, she was hospitalized in the maternity ward, where throughout her hospitalization, Yairish received close support and warm and enveloping treatment from the entire staff, especially from Olga L.B., a nurse in the maternity ward. Olga, who immigrated to Israel from Ukraine about 30 years ago, has been helping immigrants and refugees from Ukraine with everything they need since the beginning of the war - whether with medical assistance or with food, clothing, etc. "Immigrating to Israel with the whole family without knowing the language and what was going to happen is a scary and confusing thing. It was important to me to give Hana Gitel the full support, help, and everything she needed so that she could have a good birth experience and a speedy recovery," said Olga. Two days later, accompanied by her husband, who was teaching at the Chabad Chabad in Odessa, Hana Gitel was released home with her new baby, feeling well and thanking the entire staff for the warm treatment they received. Today, the newborn's baptism was held and his name was named in Israel: Naftali.
