Edelman is the first Orthodox Jew to compete in the Winter Olympics, and the first Orthodox Jewish male to compete in either Olympic iteration. He is an outspoken supporter of anti- bullying and mental health initiatives, having suffered from depression as a result of prolonged bullying in middle school.

Edelman tried skeleton for the first time at the Olympic facilities in Lake Placid, NY in March, 2014 where he was given an assessment that he was “not equipped for [skeleton]” and would “never be truly competitive.” The Israeli team was similarly told that Edelman would “get down the track but that’ll be the most of it.” Nevertheless, Edelman set out a goal of qualifying Israel for the 2022 Olympics.
