This fantastic professor taught a whole class while comforting a student’s baby

Being a Mom isn't easy. Being a Mom and going back to college to study is extremely difficult. That's why we applaud this awesome college professor, who swooped to the rescue when a student in his Organisational Management lecture couldn't get a babysitter. When her baby started crying, the flustered Mum was just about to leave the class when Dr. Sydney Engelberg, a professor at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University, took the infant in his arms and continued the class as normal. The photo, taken by a student, quickly went viral and has been shared more than a million times.

“It happens a lot to me that I calm [students’ ] babies down; once every few weeks,” Dr. Engelberg told Walla News. “My success rate is relatively high,” said the grandfather of five. “I can take pride in my success.”

We salute you Dr Engelberg.
