Wow, I'm not sure if I'd myself know as much RSRH as these kids'll've!

(I just couldn't resist the double contraction. Colloquially, I'll also say things like "Y'all'd've".)

I've done 19 Letters, Hakdamah to Horeb, Avot, Mishlei, and about three or so volumes worth of Collected Writings. But these kids will have done additionally the Tehillim, Siddur, and Horeb.

I'll be mighty impressed with (and personally embarrassed from meeting) any of these kids, and maybe I'll have some hope for the future of Orthodoxy as well.
