Less than a week after the elections to the 25th Knesset, Bezalel Smotrich sent a letter today (Monday) to the chairman of the soccer leagues directorate, Erez Kalfon, in which he complained about the fact that in the soccer league, games are held during the Sabbath.
"It is very unfortunate to see that, for you, new audiences do not include the audience of fans who observe Shabbat and tradition in Israel. You chose to blatantly ignore a large audience of actors, children and families," wrote Smotrich, who is to be appointed a minister in the new government.
It also reads: "The exclusion of half of the Israeli public from football, both as spectators and as active participants, must stop. This is a step that is not democratic, not sporting, and not Jewish. In the last year and a half, we have gathered with representatives of the Ministry of Sports with the desire to open the gates and reduce the exclusion of children and families who observe the Sabbath from the fields, it seems that a spirit The Minister and the Ministry for Reducing Exclusion did not penetrate at all into the offices of the administration, which continues to operate in a patronizing and predatory manner."
The MK suggested holding "celebratory and family cycles during Israel's holidays."
