A photo of a Jerusalem university professor holding a student's baby while he teaches is getting a lot of love on the Internet.
The photo, which was posted to Reddit earlier this week, shows Prof. Sydney Engelberg from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem holding a student's baby during one of his lectures.
According to the Jerusalem Post, the infant began to cry uncontrollably during one of Engelberg's classes. As the child's mother stood to leave the room, Engelberg took the crying baby, calmed the child and continued with his lecture on organizational behaviour.
Engelberg's daughter, Sarit Fishbaine, posted the image of her father and the child to her Facebook page, calling him "the best dad in the world."
