– In war zones around the world, midwives have become increasingly critical to ensure a safe delivery. Breastfeeding advocacy is also critical where potable water and food access is limited. (NPR)

– Our own Jordana Horn writes for the Forward that Jewish Day School is not key to raising kids with a strong Jewish identity, and offers instead tips for parents to do their own Jewish “homeschooling.” (Forward)
