Looking for community as an alternative jewish 28 yr old woman

I was raised alternatively, my family was Holocaust survivors and my parents had to kind of reckon with their practice and faith and family coming from my completely traumatized grandparents. They raised me to be spiritual and open minded. You’re a Jew no matter what you do energy. They accept me with my tattoos and piercings and my queer goy partner.

I’m really feeling the pull to deepen my practice and find community. To do more than just call my mom for Shabbat,but I feel judged by other Jews. I thought moving to NYC would help me find my community but I still don’t have any other Jewish friends or a synagogue I feel accepted at.

I also work for orthodox Jews, and although they’ve always been kind a respectful and even talked to me a little about chabbad, I definitely feel a little othered.

I guess I’m just posting to see if anyone relates/knows of accepting synagogues in NYC.
