Sydney Sweeney Reportedly Considers Converting to Judaism

Actress Sydney Sweeney is reportedly considering converting to Judaism, according to a Page Six report. The relationship between Sweeney and Jewish producer and businessman Scooter Braun has become serious enough that they are discussing starting a family together. A source close to the couple stated that this topic is particularly important to Braun, and as a result, Sweeney is seriously contemplating conversion.

Reports indicate that Sweeney has already met with two rabbis to learn about the conversion process. Such a conversion, if pursued, could take between one and four years and involves significant study and guidance from a sponsoring rabbi. The identities of the rabbis and the specific branch of Judaism Sweeney might convert to have not yet been disclosed.

Further hints of Sweeney's engagement with Judaism emerged when she and Braun were seen attending Rosh Hashanah services at Temple Sholom in Greenwich, Connecticut. This is a traditional, egalitarian Conservative synagogue. While they were observed sitting in the back, there is no current indication that the conversion process is being conducted through this specific synagogue.

Braun, who comes from a prominent Jewish background and is a grandson of Holocaust survivors, has become a vocal opponent of antisemitism and a supporter of Israel within the entertainment industry since October 7th. The relationship between Sweeney and Braun is reportedly progressing rapidly, with Braun possibly considering proposing in the coming months.

Speculation about Sweeney's potential conversion began earlier after she was seen at a synagogue with Braun, but this latest report of meetings with rabbis marks the most significant indication to date that the possibility is being seriously considered, although neither Sweeney nor Braun have publicly confirmed the initiation of a formal conversion process.
