Trying to reconnect

I have so many questions…. here it goes,

I’m a 29 year old male, living in Lake Worth, FL. I was raised in a conservative household in Montgomery County, MD. From the age of about 15 until I was 25 I made a lot of mistakes. I used drugs, and seperated myself from my family. For the last 4 years I’ve been rebuilding, but I’m having trouble reconnecting to my Judaism. I believe, and remember a lot from my childhood, but so much was lost…. I’m not part of a community down here, and the literature I’ve tried to read has been very informative, but a lot of goes over my head. I’m really just looking for suggestions on books, practices, and places to go to recconect. I visited Israel in February and had such a beautiful and spiritual experience. If any one has any reccomendations, I’d love to chat.

TLDR: I’m almost thirty and struggling to regain a culture I abandoned over a decade ago.

I look forward to hearing from you all

-Mr. J.Cohen
