Written by . Published: September 07 2014
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly converting to Judaism.
The Iron Man star has been practising Kabbalah, an offshoot of Judaism, for several years and is now looking to make a full transition into the religion, according to the New York Post.
Paltrow has family ties to Judaism - in 2011, she discovered her
ancestors came from a long line of East European rabbis on
genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are? and her father, Bruce
Paltrow, was a practising Jew.
Her mother, Blythe Danner, is Christian and the actress was raised
practising both religions.
