Best Answer

There is no such thing as a Jewish church. Jews have synagogues. Synagogues are quite different from Christian churches (English or otherwise) in many ways. Some examples are:

  • Judaism has no ranks and no formal religious leadership other than a rabbi, which is a Jewish teacher
  • Judaism has no pope or overall leader
  • Jews generally do not collect money in synagogues
  • "Preaching" is not a Jewish concept
  • Prayer services are usually in Hebrew, even in the most liberal synagogues
  • Clergy is not required for prayer services
  • There is no altar, but there is something similar called a bimah, which is the place the Torah is read from
  • There are no priests or sacraments
  • There is no trinity, and no worship of anyone or anything other than One God.
