People who believe in Reform (a branch of Judaism), worship and pray in synagogues (temples). Synagogues have a main sanctuary (large hall for praying) and can also have smaller rooms for study. Some have a social hall, offices, and a separate room for Torah study. All synagogues contain a table in which the Torah is read. The ark (ark of Covenant) in a synagogue is positioned so that those who face it, also face toward Jerusalem. The sanctuary seating plans in the Western world and generally faces the east. Synagogues are usually decorated with artwork and used to have a lit lamp of lantern (now electric).
