Best Answer

How much a Jew worships in a synagogue varies greatly, and is not dictated by religion. Traditional Jews pray 3 times a day, but not necessarily in a synagogue.

Jews go to a synagogue to assemble with other Jews and to preserve the Jewish community, in addition to prayer and study.

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.
