A Facebook post by Sarit Fishbaine showing her 67-year-old father Dr. Sydney Engelberg, a professor in organisational behaviour at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University, holding a baby of one of his students in his arms while continuing with a lecture, has gone viral. An Imgur post with the photo has over 1 million views.

According to the Jerusalem Post, the infant began to cry uncontrollably during one of Engelberg’s classes. As the child’s mother got up to leave the classroom, Engelberg took the crying baby, calmed him and continued with his lecture on organizational behaviour.

“There are a lot of young moms and a lot of them have babies, and he encourages them to just bring their babies to class. This is what I call an excellent organizational behavior lesson! Show me another professor who does that. Dad, you’re the best!” Fishbaine wrote.

Engelberg not only allows infants and occasionally older kids to tag along to class (and breastfeed whenever necessary), he encourages it. “The reason is that education for me is not simply conveying content, but teaching values. How better than by role modelling?” he told Yahoo Parenting.

“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. And that’s the very important message that my dad wants to endow to the world,” she told Buzzfeed News.
