Once a week, on Shabbat. That can be Friday night or Sat morning...usually Saturday morning. If there is a feast or High Holy day that week, there is more.
About 2 hours, can be more (last week was 5 and a half!)
Sukkot, the feast of tabernacles.
And the place of worship is usually called a synagogue.

A Jewish place of worship is called a synagogue, and prayer services take place three times a day; Mornings (one hour), afternoon, and evenings (about half an hour each). On the Sabbath (Saturdays) the services are a bit longer. The most important holidays in the Jewish religion are Rosh Hashsna (the New Year), and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement).

For the very religious, there are three services a day. Most people only go on Friday night or Saturday morning. The regular service lasts roughly two hours but holiday services can be much longer. The Yom Kippur service, for example, is an all day service (six to eight hours depending on what kind of synagogue you go to).
The most important holiday is actually two holidays. Rosh Hashannah (the New Year) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) are ten days apart and celebrated in the fall. For many Jews, these are the only services they attend in a year.

There is NO Jewish Temple today! It no longer exists.
will be build again some day.
All over the world the Jewish people worship in
SYNAGOGUES!
Different kinds for different reasons. Each time a Jewish boy becomes a man there is a special Service.
Services for Festivals, etc. etc.
Each Friday/Saturday there are SHABBOT services.
Services are usually over one hour-- not very often more than two hours.
Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement.
ETC. Etc.

don't listen to the nonsense from david. hes a christian.
the "main" service is for sabbath, which is from friday sundown to saturday sundown, there are TWO main services for this. a friday night one which at least at my synogogue is usually about 90 minutes long, sometimes a little longer, sometimes a little shorter. on special occasions it can be alot longer.
then saturday morning, which is 3-5 hours long depending on various things.
the most important holiday is Yom Kippur. and after that is Rosh Hashana. sukkot is several further down the list. (not sure what nonsense he was thinking to say that)
as said, there are also daily prayers that can be done as well, and also a saturday evening one.
there are a variety of other holidays with special services as well.

Religious Jews have prayers 3 times a day (preferably in synagogue). Weekday morning sevices are about 40 minutes, afternoon prayers about 15 minutes and evening prayers about 15 minutes. (Many synagogues have afternoon prayers towards the end of daylight, so evening prayers are held shortly afterwards.)
Sabbath & Holiday prayers are much longer, especially morning prayers.
Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) is considered the holiest day, with about an hour of evening services and most of the morning and afternoon in prayer services. (All Jewish days & holidays start at night until the next night.)

Jews had only one temple at any given time, in Jerusalem. It was destroyed once and then rebuilt according to prophecy, then it was destroyed again and hasn't been rebuilt since. They have Sinagogues.
I believe the most important jewish holiday is passover.

Friday night and Saturday morning are the main ones, though you can go dailty I think. Far too long, up to two and a half hours, and Yom Kippur I think.

every day there are 3 services(morning- shaharit, noon-minha and evening-maariv)
on shabat and holidays we add one more- musaf
every holiday is very important, but there is one day in a year called Iom Kipur on which we pray almost the hole day and we fest for 25 hours. on this day we ask g-d to forgive all our sins and he decides what destiny we'll have the next year
it's in general words, but if you want to know more you are welcome to ask
