Professor Sydney Engelberg is becoming a superstar among mothers. He’s a lecturing veteran at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. During one of his lectures, one of his student’s baby started crying. The mom wanted to leave the class because she felt embarrassed but the professor took the baby, soothed him in his arms and continued with his class. Engelberg is a father of 4 and grandfather of 5 and allows mothers to bring their children to his class and even breastfeed.
Professor Engelberg is a firm believer that no mother should ever choose between her child and an education!
“The way he sees the concept of getting education is not only learning the dry facts that you need to learn in class, but also learning values,” wrote his daughter, Sarit Fishbaine
