A synagogue (Hebrew: בית כנסת ; beit knesset, "house of assembly"; Yiddish: שול, shul) is a Jewish place of religious worship. The word "synagogue" is derived from the Greek συναγωγή, transliterated sunagoge, "place of assembly" literally "meeting, assembly". It is where Judaism's Jewish services are held and conducted .
The Hebrew term for synagogue is Beit Knesset - בית כנסת ("House of Assembly", not to be confused with the Knesset which is the modern name for the parliament of Israel, a political institution). Some congregations call their synagogues by other names, such as Beit Tefila - בית תפילה ("House of Prayer").
A synagogue usually includes a large hall for prayer (the main sanctuary), smaller rooms for study, and often a social hall and offices. Some larger synagogues may have a room set aside for Torah study which is referred to as a Beth midrash - בית מדרש ("House of Study").
