Troubled former Phillies centerfielder Lenny Dykstra now studies
Torah every Wednesday, according to the New York Post.

Dykstra studies with Rabbi Shmuel Metzger, who runs the
Chabad at Beekman-Sutton, in the basement of a wine shop on New
York’s East Side.

“I’m on a spiritual journey,” he told the Post, adding that he has
no plans to convert. “I’m trying to find if God exists. I want to deal
with people who are smarter than me.”

Since his playing days ended, Dykstra has owned a car wash,
offered financial advice, written his memoirs, served prison
time and was arrested earlier this year for alleged cocaine and
methamphetamine possession and for menacing an Uber driver.

Julian Edelman Honors Pittsburgh Shooting
Victims by Wearing Tribute Cleats
New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman — whose father
is Jewish — wore special cleats during a game on Dec. 16 against
the Pittsburgh Steelers to honor Tree of Life shooting victims,
JTA reported.

Edelman’s cleats included the words “The Tree of Life” in
Hebrew, the logo of the Tree of Life*Or L’Simcha Congregation and
an Israeli flag, with the hashtag #strongerthanhate. In a tweet that
included a photograph the cleats, he also listed the 11 victims of the
Oct. 27 attack.

The Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Boston sponsored the
cleats. Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who is Jewish, visited Tree of
Life and attended Shabbat services there ahead of the game. l
