Yes. Some Jewish congregations call their houses of worship a "temple". Others call them a "synagogue" or a "schule" and there are other words and phrases as well. Whatever the house of worship is called, however, it has the same basic functions: a place of worship, a community meeting place, and a place of study. In fact "shule" (or shul) is the German/Yiddish word for school. But technically a group of 10 adult Jews (used to be Jewish men only, some liberalized to include women, and in need some others will just take 10 adults -- and adult can mean anyone over bar/bat mitzvah age) constitute a "minyan" (or quorum) for a "formal" prayer service.
