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.

For example, mitzvot that apply to farming, are only relevant to farmers, it would be ridiculous to apply such mitzvot to someone who works as a store owner in a city. Other mitzvot only apply to Temple life so without the Temple, these laws don't apply to anyone and so on.

What is the most important mitzvah in the Torah?
Rashi (Bamidbar, 15;41) relates that the mitzvot of Shabbat and Tzizus are as important as all of the other commandments. Additionally, the Gemara (Peah, 1;1) states that the study of Torah is equal to all the other mitzvot. Furthermore, the Gemara (Bava Batra, 9a) states that the mitzva of tzedaka is equal to all the other mitzvot. Moreover, the Tosefta (Avodah Zarah, 5;2) learns out that the mitzvah of living in Israel is equal to all the other mitzvot. Even further, the Gemara (Nedarim, 32a) states that the mitzvah of bris milah is equal to all the other mitzvot in the Torah. Lastly, many commentators learn out from the Gemara (Avodah Zarah, 3a-3b) that the mitzvot of Sukkah is equal to all the other mitzvot as well. We therefore have 7 mitzvot which are equal to all the other commandments in the Torah: 1) Shabbat, 2) Tzizus, 3) Torah Study, 4) Tzedaka, 5) Living in Israel, 6) Bris Milah, 7) Sukkah.
