Lindsay and Sam’s off and on relationship is on-again, as we saw from their canoodling on a cross-Atlantic flight. Now that they have temporarily kissed and made up, it seems like Lindsay may be trying to take their relationship up another notch – she may be converting from Catholicism to Judaism. One of the reasons the pair flew across the pond was to attend Samantha’s half-brother Joshua’s bar mitzvah, and Lindsay was present for the ceremony. She was also at the synagogue the day before, accompanying Sam. When asked by a paparazzo if she was converting, she replied “I’m trying,” and has even updated her Facebook profile to “I’m converting.”

LiLo visited a London synagogue with her DJ girlfriend on Friday. And then she returned to the same place of worship in South Kensington for more yesterday – as Samantha’s official date for the bar mitzvah of her half-brother Joshua Ronson.

And Lindsay showed she’s really becoming part of the family by joining in with the post-bar mitzvah lunch in London’s Mandarin Oriental hotel.

Lindsay has even made her decision “official” – by updating her Facebook profile to say “I’m converting”. That’s commitment.

LiLo and Sam walked into the synagogue arm-in-arm for their first visit on Friday. When an onlooker asked the Hollywood starlet if she was converting, Lindsay revealed: “I’m trying.”

The recovering alcoholic, who was brought up Catholic, now faces lessons in the Jewish faith before an official conversion can take place.

The article also says that she’s staying at singer Bryan Adams’ place while she finishes up her album, and his flat is just down the street from the synagogue (as well as the nightclub scene). Lucky girl – she’ll be able to go straight from her Judaism classes to the clubs! It’s fascinating how people insist on calling Lindsay a “recovering addict” when she has clearly put no effort into the process. Immediately out of rehab, she was seen holding water bottles full of vodka under her table at clubs, and there are still rumors of her cocaine use.

Sam and Lindsay have an undeniably chaotic relationship, and it seems like Lindsay is the instigator of many of their fights. So it’s not surprising that she thinks converting to her girlfriend’s religion would smooth things over with Samantha. Converting to your significant other’s faith is a huge step, and while I would usually say “good for you,” to someone making that commitment, I can’t see these two lasting through the summer. Hopefully either Samantha or her rabbi sees this “conversion” for what it really is.
