A synagogue may be built anywhere in the world by a Jewish convert, provided it meet certain criteria. The building must contain at least one altar which should ideally face towards the [[Temple]], should have a rabbi attached to, and should be well built and furnished to reflect its function. Upon meeting these conditions, a synagogue must be consecrated by the High Priest to be officially recognised as a synagogue. This status bestows special privileges upon the synagogue, including grants from the Israeli government for upkeep, and soldiers to defend the synagogue if it comes under attack. A synagogue may be deconsecrated for veering from the teachings of Judaism.

A great synagogue is a title that may be granted to any synagogue of sufficient importance. Analogous to a cathedral in [[Christianity]], its rabbi is known by the title of chief rabbi, and will oversee in a general capacity all synagogues in the region. There is no strict size requirement for a synagogue to be denoted as a great synagogue, but generally speaking larger, more elaborate buildings in populous areas are preferred. Usually, a synagogue will only receive the title of great synagogue if it is in an area with a sufficient number ~~of other synagogues.~~
