A synagogue, also referred to as a ‘shul’ or ‘temple,’ serves as a central space for Jewish communal life, encompassing prayer, study, and socialization. This video explores the various aspects of a synagogue, including the people one might meet, such as rabbis and community members, and the elements one might find inside, such as the Torah ark and bimah (lectern). Beyond its roles in worship and education, a synagogue often acts as a communal hub where lifecycle events and community activities take place, providing a space for Jews to strengthen their communal and spiritual bonds.
