Culture and Sport Minister Miri Regev congratulated tennis player Dudi Sela for his courageous decision to stop his game in the middle and retire due to the commencement of Yom Kippur.
Regev wrote on her Facebook Sunday morning that "I was so moved to hear that you had stopped your game in the middle due to Yom Kippur commencing. You are a professional with many achievements in Israel and abroad and at the end of this week you proved that you are also an ethical person who first and foremost represents Israel. May G-d bless you and stand by your side as you continue on your way. I am proud of you and am looking forward to meeting you in Israel."
