The mother said, “It’s coming,” Officer Melvin Padilla said when he and Officer Frank Egelsen walked in to the 165 Haines Road complex at 7 a.m.
The paramedic had not yet arrived. Padilla told her to hold on, but she couldn’t, he said.
“It felt like about a year and a half,” he said, before the paramedic came just in time to catch the nearly fully emerged baby boy.
Padilla said it was a very exciting morning.
Mother and son seemed well, he said. He did not know to what area hospital they were taken.
He did not catch the name of the paramedic.
what a zchus for this little boy to actualy be born in the cheder . when he will be older he will be able to claim that he was in bais medresh from day one . but what was the mother looking for in cheder at 7 am is beyond me .
Mazel Tov!
Let’s look at the positive side: the baby is alive, the mother is health, B”H.
Upgekimen mit shrak!
Mazel Tov and a lot of Nachas.
it looks like theis boy wants to sit in Yeshiva.
What is not positive about this story???
Mazel Tov.
A bunch of nachas. Yizku l’hachniso b’breeso shel avrohom ovinu b’ito u’bizmano, l’gadlo l’torah l’chupo u’lemaasim tovim.
Do you think that the baby will be named after Officer Padilla?
I guess this kid gets free schar tuition for life
This town of Kasho is like a yeshiva shtetl, it started with a yeshiva, then more families moved out there, but the place is still called “Yeshiva”, in the neighbors view they all live in a yeshiva campus.
when rivkah emeinu was pregnant to yakov & e… rashi says that when she went through a bais hamedrash yakov wanted to be born there
there is no talmud torah in this place, only a girl school building and a yeshiva building, one side of the school bldg, has apartments maybe one of the families.
look like this happend :
ויתרוצצו: על כרחך המקרא הזה אומר דורשני, שסתם מה היא רציצה זו וכתב אם כן למה זה אנכי.
רבותינו דרשוהו לשון ריצה, כשהיתה עוברת על פתחי תורה של שם ועבר יעקב רץ ומפרכס לצאת, עוברת על פתחי עבודה זרה עשו מפרכס לצאת. דבר אחר מתרוצצים זה עם זה ומריבים בנחלת שני עולמות:
Some pieces are missing here.7:00 is too early to bring young children to school and the older ones could go on their own. What was she doing in cheder?
maybe she was looking for her husband cuz she couldn’t reach him by phone?
nowhere in the article does it say whether the mother was jewish or not
maybe she wanted a government scholarship for this child born in the hall of studies
In this shtetel there are only yidden besides one single maintenance guy living on premises.
This birth probably took place in a house in the “yeshiva settlement”, not in a yeshiva building.
It was not in chader its just the name how the police is calling the place it was in hir house
