Etymology

The word 'synagogue' comes from the Greek 'synagoge', which means 'assembly' or 'gathering'. This term was used in the Hellenistic period to describe Jewish gathering places for prayer and teaching. Historically, synagogues have been central to Jewish life, especially after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE when worship practices shifted from temple sacrifice to prayer and study. Over time, synagogues evolved not only as places of worship but also as community centers, providing a space for social and educational activities. The architectural styles of synagogues can vary significantly, reflecting the cultural diversity and traditions of Jewish communities around the world.
