synagogue-goer

Shabbat service attendee

A synagogue-goer is someone who attends synagogue, the Jewish house of worship.

The term typically implies regular attendance rather than occasional visits: My grandmother was a devoted synagogue-goer her whole life.

Like churchgoer, it suggests active participation in religious community life.
