I was raised in a Catholic home/school/town, left the church at 12, and began practicing paganism. I’m now 20 and recently have had the overwhelming urge to look into judaism. There is something just calling to me, and I don’t want to turn away from the feeling. However, I’m worried there are parts of my life I don’t want to necessarily give up, and as I do more research I’m struggling to figure out what to do.
I know the first Noahide law is not to worship idols, but paganism is such a large part of my life. I’ve looked at both r/Semitic_Paganism and r/jewitches, and they’ve given me insight towards that. I guess my biggest question is, how should I approach other aspects of my life? I am trans, polyamorous, and covered in tattoos and piercings. Are these things different sects will be forgiving of? Or should I accept my lifestyle will not line up with Judaism?
I guess I’m just looking for a direction to go in. There are 2 synagogues in my town, only 4 in the whole state. One is reform and the other is Orthodox. I’d appreciate any advice, thank you for listening
