TheCorinthian Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I can sympathize but I would not change the rules for Muslims or Christians either. And since when do Jews not play games on the Sabbath? I know Orthodox that play all kinds of games on Friday and Saturday. Thoughts? http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/02/28/sabbath-could-end-jewish-schools-basketball-playoff-run/ HOUSTON – A Texas agency has turned down a request by an Orthodox Jewish school in Houston to reschedule a championship game potentially involving its boys' basketball team because the game time falls during the Sabbath.The Beren Academy advanced to the semifinals in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools' 2A tournament with a 23-5 record and was scheduled to play Dallas Covenant at 9 p.m. on Friday. Beren players observe the Sabbath between Friday night and Saturday night and won't play basketball during those hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
