"Well, I’m not completely Jewish, if you know what I mean. I know people want me to be. My father is Jewish. My mother isn’t. I’ve been asked this before. I guess you could say I’m kind of Jewish but not really." -- Julian Edelman

Except he says he's Jewish in this interview. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/0ap2000000301400/Edelman-explains-nicknames-Minitron-and-The-Squirrel
ReplyDeleteSo if he says he is then you should give him it.
I think he was kidding about being Jewish and celebrating Hanukkah.
ReplyDeleteSince he is 1/8th Jewish there's almost no way he (or his father, given what else we know) were raised celebrating Hanukkah.
He attends High Holiday Services at my temple Shirat Hayam in Swampscott, MA. I think you may have this one wrong.
ReplyDeleteAs much as we love to believe anonymous internet quotes, we'd love to see some confirmation... All we have is ancestral research which clearly shows 1/8 Jewish at best, as well as that he was raised Christian.
