Proof That It Takes A Village

Dr. Engelberg is now every student-mother's hero.

With one simple gesture, Hebrew University Professor Sydney Engelberg became an champion for parents pursuing higher education.

On May 11, Engelberg's daughter Sarit Fishbaine shared a photo on Facebook that shows her father holding a baby while conducting a lecture. She explains in the caption that during her father's organizational behavior class, a student's baby began to cry, and when the mother got up to leave, Engelberg didn't hesitate to take the infant into his arms and soothe it. He then “continued the class as if nothing had happened,” she wrote.

In an interview with Yahoo Parenting, Engelberg said that allowing babies in class “does seem to be much more acceptable in Israel, which is a very family-oriented society and culture.”
