Differences Between Temples and Synagogues and Orthodox Names
A reader asks about Jewish places of worship noting that anciently there was a single temple in Jerusalem and later synagogues in communities. In modern practice the terms are used interchangeably among movements, with Orthodox favoring synagogues and Conservative/Reform using temple in some cases. The Orthodox Church in America traces to the former Russian church and gained independence in 1970. the Holy Orthodox Church in America is an interchurch movement begun in 1934 with English liturgy and fewer than six congregations. The Orthodox Church in America has about 375 churches and over a million members. Psalm 147:3 is cited as God heals the brokenhearted and binds their wounds.
