The 1993 religious freedom act exempted religious organizations from certain suits. This new act eliminates that protection. It is that simple.This Act consists solely of a series of amendments to existing laws against discrimination, in order to extend their scope to encompass gender-related orientations more generally. That is all it does, as far as I can see.
The section you quote simply means that the 1993 religious freedom act does not override the provisions of this new one.
There is nothing in this law about the practice of religion, so far as I can see.
So either you have drawn a wrong conclusion, or you need to explains exactly what previous law is modified by this new one, in a way that now enables the Jews to be sued for segregating the sexes in religious services.
Make your case, if you have one.
That appears to be a reasonable interpretation.The 1993 religious freedom act exempted religious organizations from certain suits. This new act eliminates that protection. It is that simple.

Oh, you ferriners....our system is not so simple.Whatever the new legislation says, don't discriminate on the basis of sex - simple, all your problems have gone.
As far as I can tell, anything in the Equality Act prohibiting segregated seating is specifically for places of public accommodation.“
