Answer 1

There are no Jewish Churches, Jews go to Synagogue.

Answer 2

If you are asking how many sects or orders of Judaism there are, it is hard to quantify, but there are around 8 major umbrella-groups that contain much diversity within their folds: Secular, Messianic*, Reform, Reconstructionist, Conservative, Modern Orthodox, Hasidic, and Haredi.

If you are asking how many physical synagogue buildings there are, it is likely that there are tens of thousands of such structures all across the world. I do not believe that there is a statistic of that number with any useful exactitude.

* Most Jews do not consider Messianic Jews to be Jews due to their belief in Christ.

Do Jews pray at a church?

The Jewish house of worship is a synagogue. Churches are for Christians. There are times when Jews are invited to visit churches either to see a Christian Wedding or some other important event. However, it is forbidden by Jewish law to pray before an idol or graven image and most churches have large crosses, statues, or statuettes of Jesus, which would make prayer there impossible. On these grounds, many Orthodox Jews prohibit Jewish entry into churches (even for non-prayer as it may confuse someone into believing that it is permissible to pray there.)
