SubscribeA tennis tumult
The author of this piece in the Jerusalem Post notes with outrage the Davis Cup matchup this past weekend — Rosh Hashana — between Israel and Spain.
The writer cites the examples of Sandy Koufax (although mistakenly putting him on the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1965) and Shawn Green and wonders why the Israelis didn’t try to postpone the match.
Just as Israeli prime ministers always eat kosher food when they travel abroad on official visits, whether they are religious or not, so too the national sports teams have a responsibility to stand up for their Jewish heritage.
It was a grave mistake for captain Eyal Ran to not even attempt to get the date of the tie moved to prevent Dudi Sela, Harel Levy, Andy Ram and Yoni Erlich from desecrating such an important day in such a public manner.
