Antakya Synagogue
The Antakya Synagogue is located in Antakya, Turkey near the border with Syria. It serves the few remaining members of the once thriving, 2,300-year-old Jewish community of ancient Antioch (now largely composed of descendants of Syrian Jews) that, by 2014, had shrunk to fewer than 20 members. The building was erected in 1890. Because Antakya is north of Jerusalem, the synagogue is built with the Torah Ark on the southern wall in a semi-circular apse. (Joel A. Zack, Historic synagogues of Turkey, 2008, p. 188)
