As others have advised, reading is a good first step. If you're starting from zero and just want to learn about the basic ideas and practices, some very accessible (non-Orthodox) entry points are:
- Diamant: Living a Jewish Life
- Green: Judaism's Ten Best Ideas
You might also research introductory classes at nearby synagogues. Many offer them and they are frequently open to all ... but inquire. You are welcome to DM me if you have further questions.
If you're interested in Modern Orthodox Judaism, Rabbi Marc Angel wrote Choosing to Be Jewish, which covers a lot of ground. He has a youtube channel, too, with short videos about different topics.
Anita Diamant's Living a Jewish Life covers a lot of liberal Judaism. I have to admit that I haven't read it yet, but it's been on my Amazon wish list because I've seen it on so many other people's bookshelves.
I bet you'll be reading a lot about Jewish beliefs, so I linked to things on Jewish practice.

I had met with two rabbis before choosing the one who made me feel the most comfortable with my decision. The first two I met with were orthodox, quite conservative and I didn't click with either and the process seemed a bit too intense for what my fiance and I were looking for. Then we came across a reform synagogue and we fell in love with the rabbi there and we're completing our first round of classes in a couple of weeks.
It's been a beautiful process so far and it's exciting! There are several books I too found good, some of them were provided with our classes as well:
Best of luck in your research!
Fast so als ob der Begriff etwas anderes bedeutet.
Das kann natürlich nicht sein.
Kannst dich ja mal einlesen.
