The synagogue is where the Jewish community goes to worship. They also use the synagogue for a study and as a community center. In orthodox synagogues the men and women do not sit together. In a progressive synagogue the men and women can sit together. The synagogue services can either be lead by the rabbi or a member of the congregation.

The synagogues patterns and colors are very intricate, when comparing this synagogue to most other religion's place of worship you won't find many similarities.
