Great reply Sarah!
Josef - So sorry for not replying earlier.
So, do I think Judaism can work for you? Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "work".
You can most certainly follow the teachings of Judaism as there are many, many resources. Sarah mentioned a couple of great ones. I myself have a collection of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks books and also Rabbi David Fohrman's books and videos on the Aleph Beta website.
But being part of a "people" is an entirely different thing. It is a lifelong commitment that takes discipline, learning, devotion and community.
It's a decision that you'll have to make yourself as to where you fit in best if that is the path you choose to take.
We're here to help where we can wherever that leads you.
