يندمج فى - يستغل لمصلحته


Explanation:
The problem with lacking context for this particular term is that "tap into" can have several meanings depending on "how" and "when" it's used.

We may be talking about someone trying to "fit in" or "be part of" something, such as family tradition in this case, OR someone trying to "use" or "harness" this tradition to his/her advantage.

If it's the former, then the translation should probably be يندمج فى (أو مع)
If it's the latter, the translation should be يستغل لمصلحته


Hopefully that helped :-)

تحقيق أقصى استفادة


Explanation:
Longman Contemporary dictionary defines "tap into" by "to make to someone's telephone by using a special of electronic equipment. So, I think the translation of the whole heading would be تحقيق أقصى استفادة من التقاليد العائلية (الأسرية)
