Synagogues are as different as churches so its really hard to say. It depends on the religues sect that the synagogue belongs to but most have seeting much like in churches and the seeting will all face and ark that holds Torah scrolls the ark is often on a raised platform. in the midle of the sactuary is another raiseed platform with a large wooden table on it. this is where the prayers are read lead from and the Torah is read on Monday, Thursday, and the Sabbath. some more obsevent (or orthodox) Synagogues have a separate men's and women's section. if you are really curious go to one, there is no religious prohibition against non-Jews entering a synagogue just be respectful and make sure that you fallow the dress of the community that worships there. i.e. if your a woman don't show up to a orthodox synagogue in a pants or a short skirt. the best idea is to contact the synagogue first.
