Trivia about synagogues. by Glenn Tompkins
Every synagogue in the world is built so the worshiping congregation is facing toward Jerusalem. In Bible times there was an exception. The ruins of the synagogue at Capernaum show that the congregation would be facing away from Jerusalem. Why? Because it was built by a Gentile, and given to the Jews. See Luke 7:1-10 Gentiles did not know the tradition.
