“I’m so sad to be writing about another attack on a Synagogue today on the Shabbat and on the last day of Passover. I’m so sorry for the loss and we are with you San Diego. I’m sad and angry, but also proud of the strength of our community. You can’t break us,” Edelman tweeted.
His statement was retweeted nearly 3,000 times and liked more than 24,800 times in the hours following the attack.
In the wake of the shooting attack on the Tree of Life synagogue building in Pittsburgh, which occurred exactly six months before Saturday’s attack, Edelman tweeted his sorrow.
He wore special cleats in honor of the victims of the Tree of Life shooting attack in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which were later auctioned off to help raise funds for the shooting victims.
Edelman’s father is Jewish and he has come out in support of the Jewish community in the past.
“U cant break US”. US is Judaism NOT Zionism. We are US citizens and US Jews and thats makes it a proud US.
May the poor soul rest in peace.
He is a true yid and patriot. He isnt one of these fake Jews that posts on this board. May Hashem give you the strength for a long and successful football career.
Beautiful kiddush Hashem from a player, and a team owned by a yid & Trump supporters.
Did Julian Edelman ever have a conversion, since his Mother was not Jewish?
To PaulinSaudi- I am not acting in place of Hashem; I merely raised a question regarding Jewish law, which clearly states that a child born of a Mother who is not Jewish, or who has not converted to Judaism, according to Jewish law, is not Jewish, even if the Father is Jewish. As long as you contribute to this site, you should become familiar with Jewish law, in the same manner that you have undoubtedly become familiar with the laws and customs of Islam in Saudi Arabia, where you live.
