In Hertzliya, Israel, one can marvel at the intricate mosaic depicting zodiac signs at Beit Alpha Synagogue, dating back to the 6th century. Artistic representations also extend beyond ancient times. "The Twelve-Year-Old Jesus in the Temple, " an oil on canvas masterpiece from 1879, captures a significant biblical event within synagogue walls. Meanwhile, stained-glass windows like those found in Bucharest's Tailors Synagogue showcase Star of David motifs that illuminate with vibrant colors, and are not limited to any particular region; they can be found worldwide. Trieste's Jewish Synagogue stands as a testament to Italy's rich Jewish heritage while Sofia Synagogue in Bulgaria proudly holds its title as Europe's second-largest Sephardic synagogue since its construction in 1909.
