Quintuplets born in Jerusalem four days ago are doing well, according to a Hadassah Medical Center spokesman. The quintuplets were born Saturday to Sorah 43, and Yosef Vexler, 45, of Beersheba, following a fertility treatment. The three boys and two girls were delivered by Caesarean section. The Vexlers, who already have one child, live in a two-room apartment, but the Construction and Housing Ministry has already promised them a new four-room dwelling. Asked how she would face the new challenge, Mrs. Vexler said: “It’s going to be difficult, but I shall manage. I love children.”
