Synagogue

A synagogue (/ˈsɪnəɡɒɡ/; from Ancient Greek συναγωγή, synagogē, 'assembly'; Hebre: בית כנסת‎ bet knesset, 'house of assembly', or בית תפילה‎ bet tefila, "house of prayer"; Yiddisk: שול shul, Ladino: אשנוגה esnoga, 'bright as fire'; or קהל kahal) is a Jewish (mainly) or Samaritan (rarely) house of worship. Synagogues have a place for prayer (the main sanctuary) and may also have rooms for study, a social hall, and offices. Some have a separate room for Torah study, called the בית מדרש‎ beth midrash, lit. "house of study".
