[quote=Anonymous]I would recommend that you begin by doing basic research about the various main branches of Judaism: Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist. If one (or more) of those branches stands out as speaking to you on a spiritual and cultural level, that is where you should start. Look for area synagogues of that branch and attend one or two services. If you're still interested after that, contact the Rabbi. Also, the DCJCC (Jewish community center) offers nice Intro to Judaism classes. Consider taking one of those so you can get a good grounding in the history, the culture, the holidays, the beliefs, etc. If you're not in DC, I'm sure that the NoVA JCC and the ones in Maryland offer similar classes. I'm Jewish (by birth, not conversion) and I have always found that Reform Judaism offers a modern, progressive and socially engaged way to practice my religion.[/quote]
