Central Synagogue of Aleppo
The Central Synagogue of Aleppo,, also known as the Great Synagogue of Aleppo, Joab's Synagogue, al-Safra, or Al-Bandara Synagogue, is a former Jewish place of worship possibly dating to the 5th century CE in Aleppo, Syria. It was the primary synagogue of the Syrian Jewish community while in use. The synagogue was notable for being the location of the Aleppo Codex for over five hundred years until it was removed and taken to Israel following the 1947 Aleppo pogrom, during which the synagogue was burned.
