The Talmud says that each new Jewish home, hastens Moshiach's arrival, and that the birth of every Jewish child hastens his coming (Collage).

In the early 1980s, the Rebbe began to speak on the importance of raising awareness about the Seven Laws of Noah among non-Jews.

When the doctors keep threatening that the baby will be born with a defect, it’s hard not to be terrified, even with the Rebbe’s assurances again, and again, and again, and again... Miriam Haber shares her personal story.

According to Jewish custom, the Shir Lama’alot psalm is posted beside a newborn baby’s crib. This was commonplace when Jewish women gave birth in the atmosphere of their own homes. Nowadays, when most children are born in hospitals, it is vital to encourage Jewish mothers everywhere to have this Psalm in the delivery room and to post it in the room where the baby stays afterwards. This will help ease the birth process, strengthen the baby, and prepare the baby for a life of holiness.
