# Synagogue
|
|
A synagogue is a place where Jews gather together to worship God. The Jews began building synagogues as places to pray and worship God in their own cities. This was because many of them lived far away from the temple in Jerusalem. In the synagogue, a Rabbi or teacher leads the people in prayers, reads from the Old Testament, and teaches people about the Old Testament. Jesus often taught in synagogues and healed people there (see: Matthew 4:23).
