synagogue service

Shabbat morning gathering

A synagogue service is a Jewish worship gathering, typically held on Shabbat (Saturday) or Jewish holidays, featuring prayers, Torah readings, and sometimes a sermon.

Services follow structured liturgy and may vary by denomination—Orthodox, Conservative, Reform.

We attended Friday evening synagogue service.

The term distinguishes religious worship from other synagogue activities like classes or social events.
