Etymology

The word 'synagogal' is derived from the term 'synagogue', which originates from the Greek word 'synagōgē', meaning 'a bringing together' or 'assembly'. The Greek word itself is a combination of 'syn-', meaning 'together', and 'agōgē', meaning 'a leading'. The term has been used since the early Christian and Jewish communities to denote places where individuals gather for worship and community purposes. Over time, 'synagogue' became associated specifically with Jewish worship, encompassing both the physical structure and the communal activities performed within it. The adjective 'synagogal' emerged to describe aspects related to this place of worship, including its rituals, traditions, and architectural features.
