Jewish architecture
Jewish architecture comprises the architecture of Jewish religious buildings and other buildings that either incorporate Jewish elements in their design or are used by Jewish communities.
Terminology[edit]
Due to the diasporic nature of Jewish history, there is no single architectural style that is common across all Jewish cultures.[1] Examples of buildings considered Jewish architecture include explicitly religious buildings such as synagogues and mikvehs,[2] as well as Jewish schools.[3]
