<p>This building at the Nazareth Village living museum is built on a relatively steep slope, so it is set into the hill, with the rear wall being dug out of the bedrock limestone. This appears to have been common in the communities of the highland regions (like the Nazareth ridge) of Galilee and Judea. Notice, too, the flat roof and clerestory windows around a raised central portion of the ceiling. The front entrance to the synagogue is hidden at the right-hand end of the building.<br></p>
