WHAT DOES BEIT KNESSET MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Beit Knesset

Synagogue

A synagogue, also spelled synagog is a Jewish house of prayer. When broken down, the word could also mean "learning together". Synagogues have a large hall for prayer, and may also have smaller rooms for study and sometimes a social hall and offices. Some have a separate room for Torah study, called the beth midrash "beis midrash —בית מדרש. Synagogues are consecrated spaces that can be used only for the purpose of prayer; however a synagogue is not necessary for worship. Communal Jewish worship can be carried out wherever ten Jews assemble. Worship can also be carried out alone or with fewer than ten people assembled together. However there are certain prayers that are communal prayers and therefore can be recited only by a minyan. The synagogue does not replace the long-since destroyed Temple in Jerusalem. Israelis use the Hebrew term beyt knesset. Jews of Ashkenazi descent have traditionally used the Yiddish term "shul" in everyday speech. Spanish and Portuguese Jews call the synagogue an esnoga.
