LJC Congratulates Jakovas Braveris on His Final Exam! Well done!

Thursday the high school students with the best final exam results assembled at the Old Town Hall in Vilnius where Vilnius mayor Remigijus Šimašius congratulated them.

Among the best were Jakovas Braveris of the Sholem Aleichem Jewish Gymnasium in Vilnius.

Jakovas’s father is Igor, a doctor in physics and mathematics who has taught at Sholem Aleichem for 20 years. He said both his sons had inherited their father’s gene for science and he had been aware of that since their early childhoods.

Jakovas said he plans to attend Vilnius University and to study physics there.

Sholem Aleichem director Misha Jakobas was exuberant. “It’s important that for the first time in the history of our school we’ve discovered a rising star with three one hundred percent scores. This is unusual.” He said his school has had to fight for its good reputation through hard work, both with parents and students, and would continue to do so.
