Summary The sacred monuments of Judaism are united by a remarkable and tragic history, that of the Jewish people. Few have gone through history. They are a reflection of the trajectory of a people: to survive, they must keep a low profile. In Djerba in Tunisia, they are modeled on the plans of the mosques. In the Ghetto of Venice, the modest facades of the five synagogues do not hint at the sumptuous interior. On the Iberian Peninsula, where the Inquisition had almost all the synagogues destroyed, those that remain are exceptional. In Europe, where the Second World War wiped out almost all Jewish places of worship, the Great Synagogue in Budapest is one of the few surviving monuments. But, in the New World where Jews find refuge, the Beth Sholom Synagogue reflects their confidence and their pride in finally being visible.
