100%

In case you didn, know, B"H Yisrael is a bright young fellow (takes after his mother, of course!)  He does very well in school, always bringing home 100's on his tests and worksheets.  His Rebbe is very good about writing comments on his work - and as soon as Yisrael comes home, he rips out his paper to show me what his Rebbe wrote.

Yisrael was sick at home for the last two days.  This morning, as he was getting dressed, I joked around with him that he missed two whole days of learning (at the pace they learn at in their Cheder, that's at least a perek or two in Chumash and Navi) and that maybe he won't do so well on the next test.

Well when he came home, he was smiling ear to ear- and handed me his test.  Sure enough, he got 100%.

And read the comment his Rebbe wrote:
It says "!תגיד לי איזה מלאך הגיע אליך ללמדך תורה, שגם יבוא אלי- בסדר"

May we be zoche to see Yisrael use his potential!

As a side note, Yisrael's Rebbe this year is a gem- he's a great-grandson of R' Aryeh Levine, and he definitely inherited his Elter Zeide's warmth and love.  He is loving and encouraging, and can really understand the mentality of a 7-year-old.   Yisrael loves him to pieces!

What a nachas!

And, by the way, if you do happen to track down that malach, you can give him my number; I have a few projects for school that he can help me with!

(Or does it only work Torah subjects?)

How wonderful that Yisrael takes such an interest in his learning and that he feels rewarded for his efforts! He has a good role model in his Tatty!
