Here is a link to what an experienced Bar Mitzvah shooter has to say.
Note the line, “Most Shuls will only allow videotaping during the week at the Rehearsal.”
Google for many more.

There are several denominations in Judaism – Orthodox, Traditional, Conservative, Reconstructionist, and Reform. In general, you can assume that use of still or video cameras during the service on Saturday is not permitted, and your only option is to tape and photograph at a staged rehearsal during the week. Some Reform and Reconstructionist congregations do allow some degree of taping on Saturday, but it may be with their security cameras or from some location in the back. You can forget about being allowed to change angles or use your flash.
I do a lot of these events and I actually prefer doing the staged performance. I can shoot film style and change camera angle and lighting as needed, as well as re-do parts where the honoree messes up.
Many synagogues use this security camera video thing as a way to earn some revenue and provide a service to congregants without having the usual acouterments of production. You could do something creative and mix this with staged footage.
The service usually runs about two hours.

You forgot one other Mark, Humanistic. Total culture shock! They don’t believe in G-D, don’t wear talit but they can choose their Torah portion, which by the way mentions the word G-D.
There are also the Jews for Jesus, they don’t count.
