I know there are some Jewish temples, so perhaps you could go along and ask (if you have not already)?

Er, a Jewish "temple" would be a synagogue.

There are some vague plans for a conversational Hebrew course at the JCC at the moment - I'm down as a potential 'student'...

I don't have the details to hand, but if you drop me a line, mellowami, I can make sure I find out and let you know.

Except for the minor point that a significant number of Jewish places of worship, particularly in the USA, are called temples by their communities. Personally, I think it's silly, verging on sacreligious, but it's actually an entirely valid word to use.

And synagogue, of course, is a Greek word, and therefore not necessarily appropriate either - the most correct terms would be [i]Bet Kenesset (Hebrew) or shul (Yiddish).

"temple" is the word my Jewish friend uses to describe his place of worship in Hong Kong. Apologies for any offence caused. I was just trying to be helpful.

I learned something new today, as I always believed synagogue was the only appropriate word
