Question

Explain two features of shabbat in the synagogue

Answer 1

Shabbat at the synagogue
In Orthodox synagogues, these prayers happen at sunset, whereas in Reform synagogues they happen at a set time. Shabbat is welcomed with hymns, prayers and psalms called Kabbalat Shabbat. On Saturday morning there is the main service of the week, with readings from the Torah and Nevi'im .

Answer 2

A typical synagogue contains an ark (where the scrolls of the Law are kept), an “eternal light” burning before the ark, two candelabra, pews, and a raised platform (bimah), from which scriptural passages are read and from which, often, services are conducted.
