Originally, the Jewish religion had a temple in Jerusalem, but that temple was destroyed (twice) and only one wall remains (or is believed to remain, if the Western Wall has been correctly identified). The Jewish religion does not allow for other temples, only the one temple, however it does allow for places of instruction in Judaism, hence the creation of the shul (meaning school) or synagogue. That is how it came about.
