Synagogue worship emerged during the Babylonian Exile (the start of the Jewish diaspora) and during the Greek and Roman diaspora, Jewish synagogues were organized throughout the Greek and Roman worlds, wherever Jews congregated. (The Christian New Testament documents this quite well). Synagogue centered worship was also significant in the Galilee and outlying areas around Jerusalem. With the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple by the Roman army in the year 70, synagogues became the primary centers for Jewish worship.

∙ 8y agoThe following changes took place after the Destruction:
1) After the Destruction, sacrifices would not be possible. Prayer (which had always existed) would now be the sole offering to God, alongside the Torah-study and performance of mitzvot (Torah-commands), which had also always existed.
2) In addition, there are a number of commands (relating to the sacrifices, the Temple, and the Kohanim) that we would be unable to perform.
3) Also, the Sages took several steps after the Destruction: they recorded the Temple-procedures in Talmud tractates such as Yoma, Midot, Shekalim and Tamid, and they enacted observances to remember the Temple (Talmud, Sukkah 41a) and mourn its destruction (Talmud, Sotah 49a).
4) The Jewish population was dispersing gradually more and more, so the sages soon permitted the writing of the entire Oral Tradition so it wouldn't be forgotten.
5) Certain changes were made in the daily prayers. Instead of praying that God accept the sacrifices, the prayers now asked for the rebuilding of the Temple.

Did Judaism change from priest-led to rabbi-led?
Note that Jews always worshiped in synagogues, even when the Holy Temple stood. Even within the Temple premises, there were several synagogues. During the Second Temple era, ancient Greek authors attest to the large synagogues that stood in all the countries where Jews lived. The Dioploston in Alexandria, for example, was famous for its size (Talmud, Tosefta Sukkah 4:6). In First Temple times also, synagogues served the same function (of daily prayer and study) that they do today (Talmud, Megillah 26b and Berakhot 31a).

Which diaspora took the Jews to what is modern-day Turkey?
In Roman times, there were Jewish communities scattered up the Mediterranean coast through what is now Turkey into Greece all the way to Rome. This could be called the Roman diaspora, when Pax Romana allowed all kinds of people living in the Roman Empire to move with relative freedom throughout the Empire and Jews took advantage of this. However, many of the Jews in these diaspora communities were there as slaves, forced into slavery as a result of the failure of one or another of the Jewish revolts against Roman rule. Later, after the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492, a wave of Sephardic Jewish refugees fled to North Africa, the Ottoman Empire (including Turkey and Greece) and some of the Italian states. This can be called the Sephardic diaspora.

Is the star of David Image worshiped in the Jewish faith?
The Jews worship no one but God. Yaweh or Jehovah are Jewish terms for God, but many will not even use those terms and will write G-d instead of God. This is because these Jews revere the One so highly that they believe it is improper to speak his name in any way. I'll ask you an equivalent question - do Christians worship a crucifix or a cross?
