About Jewish Temples
Synagogues are the houses of prayer, study, and assembly for Jewish communities worldwide, a tradition stretching back more than 2,000 years. Each synagogue contains an ark holding the Torah scrolls and a bimah for reading them aloud during Shabbat and festival services. Architectural traditions vary widely — from the ancient stone synagogues of Capernaum and Dura-Europos to medieval European synagogues, Sephardic shuls of Spain and Morocco, ornate Eastern European wooden synagogues, and modern community centers. Major historical sites include the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the Altneuschul in Prague (Europe's oldest active synagogue), and historic synagogues in Cordoba, Toledo, and Amsterdam.
