—————————————————-
GOALKEEPER
Nick Shinder (Athletic Bilbaum) – Was inspirational in goal, with two notable stops – as he played his part in club’s first win of the season
DEFENCE
Brad Dryer (Harmen) – The future of Harmen, won all of his duels on the left side of the pitch, excellent with his feet and did not lose one aerial battle.
James Korn (FC Team B) – Playing his first game of the season, he was totally dominant at the heart of the defence, winning everything
Alex Rosenthal (Hendon United A) – Rolled back the years with a brilliant defensive leadership display at centre half – described as being a true rock
Dale Bradman (Oakwood A) – Was superb throughout at the back for the Oakwood defence and was unfortunate to be on the losing side
MIDFIELD:
Jake Saunders (Camden Park) – Played the part of two players – and just as well as Camden had to play last 20 minutes with ten men after Sasha Nussenbaum went off injured
Mark Singer (L’Equipe) – Captained the side to perfection, won every header and topped it off with a goal
Benji Weinberger (Maccabi London Lions B) – Did absolutely everything apart from score. Worked tirelessly, caused Raiders defence major problems and broke up attacks
Elliott Espinoza (Scrabble) – Pulled the strings in midfield as Scrabble maintained their 100 percent winning start to the season
ATTACK:
Elio Elia (Boca Jewniors) – Gave both centre-backs huge headaches, consistently beating them both for pace and scored two cracking individual goals
Daniel Garfinkle (Redbridge A) – With Steve Summers off with injury after 20 minutes, moved from a wide position and used his pace to great advantage with a four-goal blast
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Elio Elia (Boca Jewniors)
MANAGER OF THE WEEK:
Jeremy Julius (Athletic Bilbaum)

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
