...What you read in THE BOOK you find in the ground." (Steven Rudd, 2017) Author's Preface and Introduction: The very first Synagogue on earth was the "Great Basilica Synagogue of Alexandria (Egypt: 280 BC - 117 AD) referenced by Philo in 38 AD, which the Jerusalem Talmud in 400 AD says Hadrian destroyed in 117 AD. Synagogues originated in 280 BC at Alexandria, Egypt as a direct result of Ptolemy II translating the Hebrew Torah in the Greek Septuagint. In fact, by Philo 38 AD, Explicitly dated the origin of Synagogues to 262 BC in Egypt. By the time of Jesus, there were thousands of synagogues in the world and more than 400 in Jerusalem alone. The Greek Tanakh (LXX) was the "standard issue, Jerusalem certified" translation used in every synagogue because Hebrew was functionally extinct in the world by 100 BC. This book, published in May 2017 AD by Steven Rudd identifies 54 second temple period synagogue buildings from archeological top plans, inscriptions and literary sources.

| 2: | Acapella Responsive Singing, No Instruments in first century ... Synagogue worship was the prototype for Christian Church. Introduction: 1. Synagogue worship at the time of Jesus' birth was acapella, antiphonal, responsive with no instruments. 2. Instrumental music was banned in all synagogues in the first century before 70 AD and the early church continued this ban to the present time. 3. Congregational singing is explicitly authorized while instruments are not: a. Col 3:16 and Eph 5:19 were letters to be read while in the assembly: "When this letter is read among you, have it also read ***in the church*** [while assembled] of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part read my letter that is coming from Laodicea." (Colossians 4:16). Also both are "one another" passages where you "speaking to one another in song" and "teaching and admonishing one another in song". This can only be collective worship on the first day of the week when Christians are assembled for the Lord's supper and the weekly collection. b.

| 3: | Jesus Master Builder carpenter stonemason creator build temple ... Jesus was much more than a mere carpenter! 1. Jesus was the creator and master builder of the universe, so it should not surprise us that he is described as a "one who constructs" (lit: Tekton) 2. "If Jesus had in fact been a builder of these houses he would have been in very good physical shape. This may help explain how he endured the brutal flagellation before the cross (Matt. 27:26; Mark 15:15; Luke 18:33; John 19:1), an experience that many men did not survive." (Jesus the Stone Mason?, Brian N. Peterson, Bible and Spade, Vol. 29 No. 1, p23, 2016 AD) 3. Jesus was a Stonemason known in the first century as a "tekton" or "architekton" which included knowledge of carpentry. 4. It is fitting that Jesus is a MASTER BUILDER because tore down the physical temple and rebuilt it HIMSELF in three days as the New Testament church. B. Jesus the Master builder: 1.

At Quran, they ate their meals in total silence. 3. Some believe that Qumran had no synagogue: a. "Could there have been a conscious aversion to imitating what was being done in contemporary synagogues-yet another expression of the Qumran sect's desire to maintain biblical precedents while rejecting models that had evolved within the Jewish community in the post-biblical era? Alternatively, did the ongoing practice of study within the Qumran community render such public readings superfluous?

The present inscription is the only one of its kind from the land of Israel. However, it has not been established whether the structure is in fact a synagogue (Foerster), or if the Jews mentioned donated a non-Jewish temple to Graeco-Roman inhabitants of the area (Kohl and Watzinger; Fine). The fact that a Jewish community could donate a temple to non-Jews should not surprise us, since non-Jewish donations of synagogues to Jewish Diaspora communities are well attested (cf. No. 103, Julia Severa). Modem religious sensitivities should not be applied to ancient social systems of benefaction. Until further excavations can determine the nature of the edifice, it seems best to understand the remains as belonging to a non-Jewish temple."
