The Jewish Link and The Humble Toast would like to recognize Oscar Lichtman as this week’s Sportstar of the Week. The Moriah sixth grader was one of the many standout sixth graders at Camp Dovid this summer. When asked about Oscar, Coach Shlomo Hagler told The Jewish Link, “Oscar showed his leadership both on and off the rink. He led our championship team in goals, but more importantly his concern for other players, ensuring they were having as much focus and fun as him, was the critical leadership element which separated our team from the others.”
