synagogue-going

Attending Jewish services

Synagogue-going describes regular attendance at Jewish religious services, or someone who attends them: Her synagogue-going parents kept kosher and observed the Sabbath.

Like church-going, it often implies traditional religious observance and community participation rather than merely nominal affiliation.
