The Central Synagogue of Aleppo (Hebrew: בית הכנסת המרכזי בחאלֶבּ) also known as the Great Synagogue of Aleppo Joab’s Synagogue or Al-Bandara Synagogue has been a Jewish place of worship since the 5th century C.E. When it functioned it was considered the main synagogue of the Syrian Jewish community. The synagogue is noted as being the location where the Aleppo codex was housed for over five hundred years until it was burned by Arabs in a pogrom against the Jews in 1947.
