Perhaps Lubavitch/Satmar/Belz/Gur ect. What was it like? Where was it?

I have been to a few of them.
several Lubavitch synagogues including once to the infamous 770.
Walked by one of the Satmar synagogues in Jerusalem, but never had the need to go inside.
Gur I dont remember, but I dont think.
Belz oh yes. I have been to the Belz main Synagogue in Jerusalem a few times when I had a Belz Hasid as a teacher.
It is a sight to see. The synagogue is so huge that the one leading services needs a paddle and a leather like pillow that he wackes to get every-ones attention.

Rosends is correct... I think it's really admirable that you want to go all-out and seek membership ahead of your conversion (it usually ain't cheap)... it shows a real level of commitment. Speak to the rabbi or the office manager about it. Don't be offended if it turns out your synagogue's bylaws require being Jewish as part of membership - if you're on the path already, it means you'll be welcomed when the time comes. And you do NOT have to be a member to attend services, including on the High Holidays. You can buy tickets separately from membership, and most Orthodox congregations also have seats available for those who can't pay at all (not always in the main sanctuary, but I've never been to one that didn't have some seats available for those without tickets). Good luck!
