Only Reform Jews, though. Orthodox and Conservative Jews generally consider there to have been no Jewish temples since the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 CE.

Orthodox and Conservative Jews generally call their house of worship a synagogue or shul.

Mormons attend temple.  As Jake notes, Jews generally do not.  Some British lawyers do as well.

Huh. I always thought temple was just a translation of synagogue that Americans used to avoid foreign sounding words.

That's not the first time your condescending attitude has led you to have silly beliefs about the US.

"condescending"?

I've only heard this on American media. Never hear it in the UK.
Logical guess that it's a language difference rather than a Jew difference. Interesting to find out otherwise.

Likewise I find many Swiss do have this as a language difference. They get all weird when you call a protestant church a church, to them it's a temple.

Temple and Church both exist in Mormonism. You have to be worthy and meet all these requirements to go to the Temple and there are only a limited number of them, you may have to travel a long way to get to one. Mormons go to Church for Sunday services and Temples for their weird ceremony stuff.

[Threviel]

Wouldn't going to the temple include buddhists, hindus and other eastern religions?

It seems more like a deliberate exclusion of Muslims than an inclusion of Jews.

The others are too tanned or asian, which is why I assumed Jewish people.

Plus they are quite a bit out of the orbit of Trumpist memesters.

The bizzare out of nowhere insults keep coming. Cute to see how upset you are at the idea someone possibly might be hurting your flags feelings.
