There is usually a Friday evening service in Synagogues, to bring in the Sabbath. In a Reform Synagogue, this is often the main service, or even the only service. In more conservative synagogues, a Saturday morning service is held. In Orthodox synagogues, there will be several services on the Sabbath day (from Friday evening until Saturday evening), and there will also be regular prayer services every weekday. There will also be special services on Jewish holidays. If it is an Orthodox synagogue, one should dress formally and modestly. Women should wear long skirts or dresses, and long sleeves. The top should not be low-cut or show the shoulders. One should not wear overly bright colors, such as red. Men should wear a head-covering, usually available at the door for those who do not regularly wear one. In non-Orthodox synagogues, these rules will vary. In a conservative synagogue, the women will not be expected to conform to the modesty rules as stated above, but should not be overly casual. Skirts or dresses would be appropriate. In some synagogues, slacks would be fine, and even jeans for younger attendants may be accepted. It is best to call ahead to see what the norm is for the particular synagogue you wish to attend.
