The Nauvoo Temple faces west because it was aligned with the direction of the rising sun on the date of the anniversary of the founding of the LDS Church. This alignment symbolizes the rising up of a new day and the restoration of the gospel.

Which way do Jewish synagogues face and why?

They face the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Israel (Talmud, Berakhot 30a). In America and Europe, that means they face east. But in Northern Israel, for instance, they face south, in Russia they'd face west, and in Africa they'd face north.This is because the Temple was the center of Jewish worship from the time of King Solomon (First Temple) until the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.
