Great Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in central Petah Tikva, Israel.
The Great Synagogue features a central sanctuary, two prayer rooms, and a copper dome on its eastern facade with Hebrew numeral clocks.
Construction of the synagogue began in 1885 with funds from Hovevei Zion movement and was completed in 1900 through Baron Rothschild's contribution.
The main hall displays six medallion images between its arches depicting important Jewish sites including Rachel's Tomb and the Western Wall.
The synagogue conducts multiple daily prayer sessions in Nusach Ashkenaz style, led by a hazzan throughout different times of the day.
Three distinct sundials on the western facade calculate time according to seasonal variations, with one using a specialized point method.
