A senior Magen David Adom paramedic, Tzvi Reider, experienced a deeply emotional moment when his first ambulance shift, dedicated to his son Dor who was murdered on October 7, concluded with him delivering a baby. Reider was dispatched to assist a woman in advanced labor near Kibbutz Be'eri, the same area where he lost his son. "This birth in the ambulance is a gift for me," Reider stated, describing the experience as a "closing of a circle" and a "gift," especially during the High Holidays, a time when he feels his personal loss most acutely. Dor Reider had moved to Kibbutz Be'eri to mentor a child with special needs and was killed there along with his girlfriend, Tchelet Fishbein, on October 7. Two armored ambulances were recently inaugurated at Kibbutz Sa'ad in Dor's memory, with Tzvi Reider expressing hope that they would primarily be used for happy occasions like births. Shortly after, his wish was fulfilled when he responded to Pnina Yiska Bitton, who was experiencing frequent contractions near Kibbutz Be'eri. Recognizing they wouldn't reach the hospital in time, Reider and his team delivered a healthy baby boy inside the ambulance. Eight days later, on the morning of the Simchat Torah holiday, Reider attended the baby's circumcision, where the child was named "Besher Tov" (Good Tidings). He then shared the story of the ambulance and his son Dor with the family, who were deeply moved by the connection between the new life and Reider's profound loss.
