Getting more into religion?

Hi everyone!

I come from a mostly non-religious background. My family and I are Jewish, but I’ve only been to shul about 3 times, I’ve never kept kosher, and I know very little about Torah. I do celebrate the holidays, but that’s about the extent of my practice so far.

I wouldn’t call myself an atheist, but I also don’t believe 100% in God —I’m somewhere in between. Lately, I’ve been feeling drawn to connect more with Judaism. I don’t really want to become fully religious/orthodox, but I’d like to start learning more, maybe try out some practices (like kosher or attending shul), and just see where it takes me.

The thing is, I’m not sure where to begin. For context, I’m in high school and still live with my parents. They’d be supportive, but I’d like to first figure out for myself what this means to me. At home I have a Nevi’im, and, of course, access to the library and internet, but I’d love some guidance on good first steps.

I hope this the right place to ask questions. Any advice or suggestions would mean a lot. Thank you! -^
