A Jewish "church" is called a synagogue, shul, or temple. The synagogue is the center of the Jewish religious community, serving as a place of prayer, study, education, social and charitable work, and a social center. The Hebrew term for synagogue is beit knesset, which means "House of Assembly". The Orthodox and Chasidim typically use the word "shul," which is Yiddish and emphasizes the synagogues role as a place of study. Conservative Jews usually use the word "synagogue," which is a Greek translation of Beit Knesset and means "place of assembly". Reform Jews use the word "temple," because they consider every one of their meeting places to be equivalent to, or a replacement for, The Temple in Jerusalem. At a minimum, a synagogue is a beit tefilah, a house of prayer, where Jews come together for community prayer services.
