No; that was only in the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.25-27) and the Holy Temple (1 Kings ch.6). Our synagogues have a Holy Ark, which is a cabinet containing the Torah scrolls.

How did synagogues form?
CurrentlyAny Jewish community can decide to form a congregation. It's mainly a practical matter of having funds and a location for a synagogue.InitiallyIn the early stages of the Roman Diaspora, Jews began to congregate in communal centers which they called "Houses of Meeting". In these places, they would perform perfunctory duties necessary to manage the Jewish community. When Jewish prayer and study was possible, they would take place in these "Houses of Meeting". The Greek term for such places was "sinagogas" from which Synagogue comes. The Modern Hebrew "Beit Knesset" which is now usually translated as Synagogue but literally means "House of Meeting" still refers to this history.More infoThere is an academic notion that synagogue-prayers began only after the Destruction of the Temple. Jewish tradition teaches, however, that organized communal prayers go all the way back in Jewish history. There were several synagogues on the Temple Mount while the Temple still stood, and thousands more throughout the Holy Land.
