Jewish Synagogues

Synagogues in this atlas's Religious and Sacred Buildings subcategory built for Jewish worship and community life, most of this subcategory's own membership in this group drawn from a single cluster of historic European and American synagogues this atlas has individually catalogued. Belongs here: any building this atlas records as a synagogue, whatever its congregation, rite or architectural style, and whatever its present use as an active house of worship, a museum or a heritage site. Does not belong here: a building serving any other world religion, gathered under this subcategory's other tradition groups, even one built on a site with a shared or contested religious history.
