Synagogues of Europe surveys the history, architecture, and cultural significance of Jewish houses of worship across the European continent. The book traces the evolution of synagogue design from medieval times through the Emancipation era and into the 20th century, highlighting how local traditions, regional styles, and changing social conditions shaped these buildings. It documents both well-preserved synagogues and those lost to war, migration, and urban transformation, emphasizing their importance not only as religious centers but also as expressions of Jewish community life, identity, and resilience throughout Europe’s complex history.
