Exploring Reform Judaism

I grew up in a mixed religion family with Jewish traditions in my home/an affinity for Judaism, though I was more agnostic.

For various personal reasons, I am exploring a reform synagogue at the ripe age of 35+. I have begun to read Living Judaism by Rabbi Dosick and listen to a Daf Yomi podcast to learn more about the Talmud. As an attorney, I love the analysis and multiple interpretations of texts.

My question: is it possible to employ a “take what works, leave what doesn’t” mentality for Reform Judaism/Judaism generally? I have read that the reform movement focuses more on the individual relationship to G-d and Judaism, which seems consistent with focusing on what works for someone personally.

I am still lacing up my shoes on this path, and any input would be great.

Thank you!
