Livnat Levy and her husband, Zion, were heading to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba when she was overcome with labor pains near the campus of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. University President Avishai Braverman promised the newborn a scholarship for his bachelor’s degree studies, the Israeli daily Yediot Achronot reported.
