How did Jews in the holy land worship when they could not get to the Temple?

They looked up at the sky, just like me.

You quote the Bible passage that says exactly how to do it, then you ask how to do it.

I would suggest that you do it exactly how it says to do it.

You convert your tithe to money [the only time you were ever allowed to convert tithe to money] you take your family on a vacation, and you praise God as you enjoy your vacation.

An observant Jew worships at home, prays at home and observes the Sabbath and the Holy Days at home.

Without a minyan?

I thought a quorum was required for traditional Jewish public worship.

Yes, without a minyan. Upon waking up, before leaving bed a prayer is offered and then washing hands and so forth: https://www.chabad.org/library/artic...-Awakening.htm

Or take

It's a way of life, not restricted to the synagogue.
