Synagogue

Outside the synagogue - a "family picture"

The roof was interesting. made from wood and clay


On the outside you can see the "chief seats"

The reader stands in the middle (often reading with natural light) for "the word is in the midst of us." The reader would stand for God's word and sit for his own.
In Luke 4 we read that Jesus did the same.

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us" (2 Corinthians 4:7)
The scroll closet
