The Jewish Link and The Humble Toast would like to recognize Liel Sayag as this week’s Sportstar of the Week. Liel has been lighting up the Moshava Ba’ir basketball intramural league this summer. When asked about Liel, Leora Sulimanoff, head of sports at Moshava Ba’ir, told The Jewish Link, “Liel completely dominated in our intramural basketball league at Moshava Ba’ir. She is a triple threat on the court. She has a deep outside shot or can go coast-to-coast after rebounding the ball. Her skills helped win the championship for her team. As tough a player as she is, she’s got a great attitude and sweet disposition on and off the court.”
