The same as today. Guiding the community in the ways of the Torah.
The object that is used when reading from the Torah scroll is a pointer called a `yad`.
A Yad, literally "hand", is a Jewish Torah Pointer and is used to follow the text of the Torah.
Although we pray privately when necessary, the synagogue is the main venue for prayer. It also serves for Torah-study and some community-occasions or social functions. As such, the effect of the synagogue is one of keeping in touch with God and with the Torah, as well as the local Jewish community.
The Torah
The Torah never talks about Moses' enjoyment of anything.

The Torah-scroll is read in the synagogue four times weekly, minimum; sometimes more.
