Mike has asked me to write you an update on his progress so far in yeshiva. I am happy to assure you that Mike has experienced significant growth thus far this year. He has made strides in his commitment to shemiras ha-mitzvos and talmud Torah. He has taken initiative in undertaking new projects such as the “kollel boker,” which is a 45 minute seder before Shacharis, and an independent learning project with a chavrusa in which he hopes to complete Masseches Kiddushin. Mike has shown a willingness to be self-reflective and consider what about himself he would like to change. The progress he has showed gives me confidence that he will make good use of the rest of his year. Yeyasher kochachem to Torah Le-Tzion for helping make this important experience a reality.

Take care and Chanuka same’ach.

Micky Siev
