New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman, in Pittsburgh to face the Steelers, honored the victims of the Tree of Life massacre in a tweet Sunday and will wear cleats in their memory.
In his post he writes “In Remembrance” in English and Hebrew and includes #StrongerThanHate as well as a list of the 11 who were murdered.
His cleats also carry the “In Remembrance” and #StrongerThanHate messages.
Edelman, whose father is Jewish, has been vocal in his support of the Jewish community. He wore an Israeli baseball cap in the locker room after the Patriots game against the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 4.

#Patriots owner Robert Kraft flew in to Pittsburgh early yesterday to visit the Tree of Life synagogue, where a gunman massacred 11 people. He then attended services at Rodef Shalom, and when invited to speak by the rabbi, he did. I’m told he even spoke partly in Hebrew. #bridges
