True or false- is a Jewish place of worship a synagogue or a temple?

A multiple-choice question cannot be answered with 'true' or 'false'. Jewish places of group-worship are called synagogues. Some Reform and Conservative Jews call them temples. But individual prayer can take place in any place the individual chooses, if it's consistent with the mood, decorum, and holiness of prayer. While 'synagogue' is exclusively used to refer to Jewish houses of worship, 'temple' can be used to connote a synagogue or a Shinto, Buddhist, Confucian, or other Asian house of worship (in which a Jew may not pray, on account of the idols present).


Does Jewish worship and study always take place at a temple?

Jewish worship and study have not enjoyed the luxury of a Temple for 1,940 years, since the second Temple was destroyed by the Roman occupying forces. Since then, the formal order of regular prayers was instituted to substitute for the Temple worship, and synagogues were built as a religious and community focus in whatever place a Jewish community is found. Community prayer is encouraged, and a few small elements of the service are recited only in the presence of a group of worshipers. But the group worship may very properly take place anywhere, and is often conducted in private homes and places of business. And the responsibility for regular prayer and routine study are individual responsibilities, regardless of the place and surroundings that the individual may choose, consistent with the mood, decorum, and holiness of prayer.

Why are holy places important to Judaism?

Jewish group prayer can take place anywhere 10 or more Jewish men amongst the Orthodox or 10 Jewish adults, male and/or female, for all other groups are gathered.

They're also places where Jews can gather for social events and to study.


Do Jews worship at a temple?

Yes. Some Jewish congregations call their houses of worship a "temple". Others call them a "synagogue" or a "schule" and there are other words and phrases as well. Whatever the house of worship is called, however, it has the same basic functions: a place of worship, a community meeting place, and a place of study. In fact "shule" (or shul) is the German/Yiddish word for school. But technically a group of 10 adult Jews (used to be Jewish men only, some liberalized to include women, and in need some others will just take 10 adults -- and adult can mean anyone over bar/bat mitzvah age) constitute a "minyan" (or quorum) for a "formal" prayer service.
