What is the place of worship? What are the major features of this place? (details of architecture, how it is decorated, what the place is called)

The place of worship for the Orthodoz Judaism religion is a "shul", a Yiddish word for Synagogue. Synagogues always contain an ark, for where the Torah scrolls are kept. Located in the center of the synagogue, the bimah is the raised platform on which the Torah is read. Ancient Jewish art is also represented in synagogues.
