I have spent a lot of time going through posts on this site and finally grew the courage to put a scenario to you. I’m an irreligious soldier in the IDF and am interested in returning to my roots, I come from a frum home, but the closed society turned me off(IMO). I was wondering what posters would suggest as begining steps to return. It seems that most people here have got a clear view on Judaism, there are those who I find extreme but I would also like to hear their opinion.
Unique,
First of all, welcome back! It’s wonderful that you want to be chozer b’teshuva.
My advice to you is very simple: Find a rabbi with whom you can “connect” and whom you feel is right for you. He will guide you on your journey.
Good luck and wishing you a K’siva V’chasima Tova!

Most importantly do not spend time or get stuck in the Coffee Room, as I have said before as it could be grounds for divorce or similar- basically it is a modern contradiction what is banned(in herem) but goes on unabated in this very ill-lit area.
How about yeshivas like Ohr Sameach and Aish Hatorah
I would suggest joining a Minyan for Rosh Hashana as a step for right away. This is besides following The Wolf’s advice.
Something to keep in mind:
The Gemara says that the reason the letter Heh has an opening on top is to show that when you do Teshuva you don’t have to go back to where you came from. Turn around where you are and you are accepted.
