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.

Why did Paul preach in the synagogues first?

As we read the Newer Testament, called by some "the Apostolic Witness," we find Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles routinely going to the synagogues of his day. But why did he go there considering the fact that he was the Apostle ( to the Gentiles?I usually think of three answers to this question.He went to the synagogues because he was a Jew and he could always be found in synagogue on the sabbath, where he worshiped with his people..He went to the synagogues because he operated on a principle of "to the Jew first," so that even though he was the Apostle to the Gentiles, the Jews had priority in every locale where he preached his message.He went to the synagogue because that was where he would find Gentiles open to the biblical worldview, and therefore, more likely receptive to his message.A fourth explanation is that Paul went to the synagogues because he wanted to recruit the Jews to go to the Gentiles with the message that the Messiah had come.He knew that the prophets had predicted that the final deliverance would begin with the Jews and then go to the nations. He believed that with the resurrection of Jesus, the Age to Come had dawned, meaning that at last the nations (gentiles) were to be gathered into the people of God. Since the message went first to the Jews and, Paul assume, through them to the nations, Paul went to the synagogues to go to the Jews first (the biblical pattern) and also to recruit Jews to their task of bringing the good news to the Gentiles.


Why is bimah so important to Jews?

The word bima or bimah refers to a raised platform from which a speaker speaks. The word is legitimately as much Greek as Hebrew, but in a synagogue, the bimah is the raised platform from which the Torah is read. It is elevated simply so that everyone can see and hear the reader over the heads of the congregation, and it always has a reading table on it so that the Torah scroll can be unrolled enough to read. Modern synagogues are frequently built following the basilica model, with the bimah in front, but in older Ashkenazic synagogues, the bimah is almost always in the center of the congregation, with seating in the round, while in older Sephardic synagogues, the bimah is in back. In both of these older styles, the reader faces the front of the sanctuary while reading.


How did diaspora change the way Jews worshiped?

Synagogue worship emerged during the Babylonian Exile (the start of the Jewish diaspora) and during the Greek and Roman diaspora, Jewish synagogues were organized throughout the Greek and Roman worlds, wherever Jews congregated. (The Christian New Testament documents this quite well). Synagogue centered worship was also significant in the Galilee and outlying areas around Jerusalem. With the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple by the Roman army in the year 70, synagogues became the primary centers for Jewish worship.
