Synagogue Scene Ancient Mosaic:The southern panel, which was laid before the synagogue’s Torah Shrine, is a liturgically oriented scene that emphasizes the centrality of the Torah Shrine.

The presence of the Menorah, which originally stood in the Jerusalem Temple, comes to highlight the continuing importance that the Jerusalem Temple occupied in the development of the synagogue. Additionally, the Menorah also maintained a practical function, as the primary light source for the area around the Torah Shrine.

Beth Alpha is a sixth-century ancient synagogue located at the foot of the northern Gilboa mountains in Holy Land- Israel. The Beth Alpha synagogue was uncovered in 1928 by members of the nearby Kibbutz Hefzibah, who stumbled upon the synagogue’s extensive mosaic floors during irrigation construction. Excavations began in 1929 under the auspices of the Hebrew University of JerusalemArchitectural remains from the Beth Alpha synagogue indicate that the synagogue once stood as a two-story basilical building and contained a courtyard and prayer hall.The Torah Ark within the apse was aligned southwest, in the direction of Jerusalem.
