FLOOR-PLAN OF THE SYNAGOGUE

 

Floor plan of the synagogue at Masada

Plan of the synagogue at Masada

The synagogue at Masada was small, but it followed the usual design: 

  • a sacred space at one end, for housing the Torah
  • a central area where a rabbi or scholar stood to read the Torah
  • seating in pillared porticoes on either side.

Synagogues revolutionized worship in the ancient world - and in our own, for that matter.
