		Above: The Great Synagogue of Plzen, Czech Republic; bimah of a synagogue in Crete; domes of a synagogue in New York.
		With the destruction of the second temple in 70 CE the synagogue became the main locus of worship and of study, filling the gap left by the absence of a single religous centre and of the sacrificial ritual.
		Synagogues in the United States are generally designed so that the front of the sanctuary is on the side towards Jerusalem, which is the direction that we are supposed to face when reciting certain prayers.

		The small ruined synagogue at Masada is one of the most well documented that dates from the time of the Second Temple, though synagogues were discovered in Egypt and on the island of Delos which predate the synagogue at Masada.

		Two years later it was given to the newly formed Northwood and Pinner Liberal Synagogue and for the last twenty years members of this Synagogue have been researching the history of the Jews of Kolin.
		The Great Synagogue in Plzen is being totally renovated and though we were let in to see the massive building operation, we could not hold our Shabbat morning service there.
		Now the Synagogue is empty again, the Torah journeying back to Northwood, but the pilgrims will always remember that weekend in four synagogues and a theatre [and other places like Theresienstadt] - and will fight on to see the synagogue is preserved and the memory of the Jews of Kolin never forgotten.

		Yet the town councilors at that time refused the project because the two spires of the synagogue would be too high and the style of the synagogue would be too close to the Christian St. Bartholomew’s Church.
		The synagogue was used not only for religious purposes but also for the Bible study and therefore, it was also called a school.
