Sydney Sweeney Meets Rabbis Amidst Conversion Speculation

Actress Sydney Sweeney has reportedly met with two rabbis to explore the possibility of converting to Judaism, according to Page Six. This development follows earlier reports eight days prior that Sweeney was seen attending Rosh Hashanah services with her partner, Jonathan 'Scooter' Braun, at Temple Israel in Greenwich, Connecticut. A source told Page Six that Sweeney is seriously considering conversion due to her deepening relationship with Braun. The couple is reportedly discussing starting a family, with Braun emphasizing the importance of Jewish identity for their future children. While these meetings suggest a serious consideration, the report clarifies that Sweeney has not officially begun the conversion process, nor has she announced any intention to do so.

The potential conversion comes as Sweeney and Braun's relationship strengthens. Sources suggest Braun may propose in the coming months. Sweeney has already met Braun's three children from his previous marriage to Yael Cohen and has been seen spending time with them and their father. Braun publicly wished Sweeney a happy 29th birthday last month, calling her the woman who showed him what true partnership looks like and made him look forward to the future.

For Braun, Judaism is a significant part of his identity. He is the grandson of Holocaust survivors and has spoken about his family's observance of Shabbat every Friday, even when traveling. Since October 7th, Braun has also been involved in bringing the Nova Festival exhibition to the United States, sharing the stories of the massacre's survivors with an American audience. Sweeney herself met with Nova Festival hostage survivors Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or in January, a meeting documented by the organization StandWithUs.
