Answer:

The correct answer is C. A synagogue is a Jewish place of worship and teaching.

Explanation:

The word Synagogue means "gathering place".  Therefore, a synagogue is a Jewish gathering place for worship and religious study.

Synagogues have been built in all sorts of styles and sizes. In traditional synagogues, there are often just twelve windows to symbolize the twelve Jewish tribes. A synagogue is by no means a necessity for a Jewish service, which can be held almost anywhere.

Each synagogue has a Bimah (reading pulpit) and an Aron Hakodesh, a cabinet where the Torah scrolls are stored. A synagogue is always built so that Aaron Hakodesh faces east, facing Jerusalem.
