A 40-year-old woman, Miriam Bracha Ben Hamo, passed away early Friday morning at Sheba Medical Center in Tel HaShomer following a rare complication during childbirth. The woman, who had no prior medical conditions, developed amniotic fluid embolism, an unexpected and rare event, during labor. A multidisciplinary team at the hospital performed extensive resuscitation efforts and connected her to an ECMO machine before transferring her to the intensive care unit. Her newborn daughter was safely delivered and is in good condition, receiving care at Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center. Many had prayed for Miriam Bracha bat Chana Ant's recovery, but she succumbed to her condition. She is survived by her husband, Rabbi Shalom Ben Hamo, a prominent Torah scholar, and their eight children, the youngest of whom is only one day old and will not know her mother. Her funeral was scheduled for 9:30 AM from her home in Modi'in Illit and a burial at 12:30 PM at the Yarkon Cemetery near Petah Tikva.
