Chorazin



One of the "Galilean" type of synagogues with typical characteristics:

Basilica shape - three hallways separated by two rows of pillars

Three doorways; central one is largest

Benches around side; not much remains of the benches here.

Stylobate - to support weight of arches




1st Century Synagogue

This excavated synagogue dates from the 2nd century, but J. Ory in an unpublished report in 1926 described an earlier synagogue 200 meters west of this one: “A square colonnaded building of small dimensions, of a disposition similar to the interior arrangement of the synagogue, 7 columns, 3 on each side...with sitting benches in 5 courses” (in Foerster 1981: 26).

terrible quality of carving, awful proportions. Maybe it was a nice provincial synagogue? Definitely not elegant!
