What else can I help you with?
In what languages would services be conducted in an orthodox or reformed synagogue?

Do synagogues provide kippot?
Yes, ALL Orthodox synagogues do, but in the other synagogues, some non-Orthodox Jews will wear their own.
Is the bimah the same as a Torah stand?
In my experience (in Orthodox synagogues) it is; but other kinds of synagogues might do things differently. In Ashkenazi Orthodox synagogues, the chazzan stands at the bimah only during the Torah-reading. Otherwise, he has a lectern which is at the front of the synagogue.

Why males and females are separated in Jewish synagogue?
They're only separated in Orthodox synagogues, which make up a minority of synagogues in North America. Orthodox synagogues have separate seating for males and females in order to focus on the prayers instead of on each other.
Do Jewish men go only to Orthodox synagogues?
Orthodox Jewish men go only to Orthodox synagogues. Non-Orthodox Jewish men would be likely to go to non-Orthodox places of worship. In Israel, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, there are prevalent numbers of non-Orthodox or Liberal synagogues. As a result, people in those places who are themselves Liberal can often find a Liberal synagogue in which to worship. Outside of those four countries, it is very rare to find a Liberal synagogue, so Jews of all religiousities (both Liberal and Orthodox) go to Orthodox synagogues for prayer, but will not perform all of the Orthodox Mitzvot when not in synagogue.
Can you dance in synagogue?
Yes. But in Orthodox synagogues, only the men can dance.
