Julian Edelman is reportedly studying for his bar mitzvah in Los Angeles this offseason

Julian Edelman said he plans to have a bar mitzvah in Los Angeles sometime “soon.”

The Patriots wide receiver, speaking with Los Angeles Magazine reporter Allen Salkin, said he’s already “converted pretty much,” and this would make it official.

Edelman, whose father is Jewish, currently attends synagogue in Boston once a year and speaks with a rabbi every Friday, according to Salkin. Salkin said Edelman, 33, didn’t specify the date for his bar mitzvah, but Salkin speculated it could potentially be in the next few months before training camp begins.

Salkin, who chatted with Edelman, Edelman’s business partner, Assaf Swissa, and one of Edelman’s friends at a charity event at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills on Tuesday, asked for more details.
