  • Pemain New England Patriots, Julian Edelman, akan menggelar bar mitzvah dalam waktu dekat.
  • Bar Mitzvah merupakan ritual Yahudi bagi orang yang menginjak usia remaja.
  • Julian Edelman membuka identitasnya sebagai seorang Yahudi sebelum Super Bowl 2012.

SKOR.id – Bintang New England Patriots, Julian Edelman, sedang belajar untuk mempersiapkan momen penting dalam hidupnya, bar mitzvah

Pandemi virus corona menyebabkan ketidakpastian musim kompetisi National Football League (NFL) 2020 hingga para pemain tak memiliki program latihan. 

Rencananya, Julian Edelman akan menggelar upacara bar mitzvah di Los Angeles. Namun, belum diketahui, kapan acara itu bakal dijalaninya. 

"Saya berbicara dengan seorang Rabi setiap Jumat. Dia berasal dari sini," kata Edelman yang rutin ke sinagoga, tempat ibadah Yahudi, selama musim reguler.

Edelman merupakan satu dari segelintir pemain Yahudi dalam MLB, yang belakangan makin antusias memamerkan identitasnya tersebut.

Tepatnya sebelum Super Bowl 2012, Edelman membuat pengakuan bahwa sang ayah adalah orang Yahudi. Tapi, tidak demikian dengan ibunya.

Kondisi tersebut membuatnya tak dibesarkan dalam nilai-nilai Yahudi."Saya memang Yahudi tapi tidak benar-benar menjalaninya," kata Edelman, saat itu.

Setelah pengakuan itu, atlet 33 tahun tersebut beberapa kali "memproklamirkan" jati dirinya sebagai seorang Yahudi.

Back in 2015 I had the chance to visit Israel for the first time with some of my buddies. It’s hard to describe how meaningful the experience was because looking back it really helped shape my perspective on things. Israel and the Jewish people have always been the scrappy underdogs and it reminded me a lot of my story. Passion and hard work are part of who I am, and it was obvious that the people of Israel have both in their blood. . This year my cleats will benefit the Israel Baseball Association. They do so much for the Israeli community, bringing together people of all ages through the love of the game. They also support minor league youth baseball in Israel, and if you know anything about me you know I lived for little league. . The Hebrew on the cleats says “yalla” which means, “let’s go”, because for the first time in the country's history, Israel is going to compete in baseball in the Olympics. Baseball has always been my second favorite sport, and I’m pumped to see what those studs can do in Japan. Yalla! ⚾️ ???????? ???? #IsraelBaseball

Misalnya dalam sebuah pertandingan, 2014, Edelman memakai pin bergambar bendera Israel. Dia juga sering menulis di Twitter tentang liburan ziarahnya ke negara tersebut. 

Tak hanya sampai di situ, Edelman bahkan menulis buku anak-anak yang merujuk kepada pendiri Zionisme modern, Theodor Herzl.

Setelah penembakan sinagoga di Pittsburgh pada musim gugur yang menewaskan 11 orang, Edelman mengenakan cleat khusus berbahasa Ibrani untuk menghormati korban.

Desember lalu, dirinya juga memakai kostum cleat untuk memberi dukungan kepada Asosiasi Bisbol Israel.

 

Rencana untuk menggelar bar mitzvah itu juga dikemukan mitra bisnis Edelman, Assaf Swissa, yang menyebut mereka sedang mengerjakan "sesuatu yang besar".

Secara harfiah, bar mitzvah berasal dari kata bar dalam Aram Babilonia Yahudi yang berarti putra. Adapun mitzvah bermakna perintah atau hukum.

Pada intinya bar mitzvah adalah ritual Yahudi yang ditujukan kepada orang yang menginjak usia remaja.

Kakek buyut ayah Edelman, Harry, juga Yahudi, yang menikahi Mabel Hennessey, perempuan berlatar belakang Katolik Irlandia setelah beremigrasi dari Polandia ke Inggris.

Selama satu dekade terakhir, Edelman mengaku mengalami apa yang ia gambarkan sebagai "kebangkitan jiwa Yahudi" dalam dirinya.

Edelman merasa menjadi lebih selaras dengan agama dan sejarah leluhurnya itu setelah merayakan hanukkah (penahbisan).

Pada 2014, dirinya mengenakan pin bendera Israel-Amerika pada topinya. Tepatnya saat pertandingan New England Patriots lawan Denver Broncos di Gillette Stadium.

Edelman yang berposisi sebagai wide receiver ini juga menyuarakan dukungan bagi para korban penembakan sinagoga di Pittsburgh.

Dia mengenakan topi bendera Israel setelah kemenangan Patriot melawan Green Bay Packers pada 4 November 2018.

Edelman juga memasang cleat pada kedua sepatunya, mengikuti tagar #strongerthanhate dalam pertandingan lawan Pittsburgh Steelers, 16 Desember 2018.

Dirinya berbagi foto cleat tersebut melalui Instagram dan mencantumkan nama semua korban dalam keterangannya.
