Masada synagogue

The synagogue structure measures 12.5 by 10.5 meters and contains stone walls alongside a central platform for Torah readings.

Archaeological excavations between 1963 and 1965 uncovered multiple stone vessels, pottery fragments, and religious texts within the synagogue's perimeter.

The synagogue's architectural elements and discovered artifacts demonstrate the continuation of Jewish religious practices during the first century CE.

The synagogue remains are accessible via cable car or hiking trails, with guided tours available throughout the year except during extreme weather conditions.

Researchers discovered fragments of biblical scrolls containing sections from Deuteronomy and Ezekiel 37 within the synagogue's premises.
