The Humble Toast Sportstar Of the Week: Jesse Friedman

The Jewish Link and The Humble Toast would like to recognize Jesse Friedman as this week’s Sportstar of the Week. The first grader at Yeshivat He’Atid, started off the Bergen County Flag Football League Fall 2023 season with a 95 yard run for the Humble Toast 49ers. When asked about Jesse, his older brothers Noah and Caleb told The Jewish Link, “Jesse is always playing sports whether it’s basketball, football or soccer. His favorite thing to do is play football with his dad and older brothers. He always has a smile on his face whether he’s winning or losing.” BCFL Co-Commissioner Steve Gutlove added, “Jesse, much like his older brothers Noah and Caleb, is an all star, both on and off the field. Looking forward to seeing Jesse and his brothers continue to tear it up in the Bergen County Flag Football League for many years to come.”
