Playing on the double entendre of leap year -- which also means “pregnant year” in Hebrew -- Hotel Yehuda has launched a babymaking campaign, inviting couples trying to conceive to bring their efforts to their hotel.

The rule is simple: The first two couples to conceive a child while staying at the hotel on Feb. 29 will get a bris, bar mitzvah and wedding worth $99,300 USD (€90,000). Couples must provide a doctor’s note, and will get their prize nine months later.
