How do Jews worship in a synangogue?

The service will be partly in Hebrew, and partly in English (or language of country in question).Services are led usually by a Rabbi, but they can be led by any man; in Reform Judaism, there are women Rabbis also.We pray in Hebrew, and we often sing as well. There is a fair amount of standing up and sitting down again!We also take the Torah scrolls out of the Ark, which is a vital part of services.The Rabbi will give a sermon; often he will include some humour, though the overall message will be a serious one. Usually these sermons are very enjoyable.
