What is the curtains called in a synagogue?

I assume you mean the curtains on the Ark (known to Ashkenazi Jews - those from North and Eastern Europe - as the Aron Kodesh and to the Sephardi - Jews from Spain, Portugal and North Africa - as the Hekhal) used to contain the Sefer Torah, as any other curtains in a synagogue are likely to be practical and of little significance. These curtains are known as parochet (also spelled paroches or parokhet. Most Arks are also fitted with doors - in Ashkenazi and Mizrahi (Jews from the Middle East) synagogues, the curtains will be outside the doors while in Sephardi synagogues they'll be inside.
