Years: 834 - 834

Aleppo's Central Synagogue, also known as the Great Synagogue, (parts of which, including the original inscriptions, still exist) is completed in 834.

According to tradition, the foundation for the Great Synagogue in Aleppo was constructed by King David's General, Joab ben Zeruiah, (circa 950 BCE), after his conquest of the city (See 2 Sam 8:3-8); it is still sometimes referred to as Joab's Synagogue.

The oldest surviving inscription is from the year 834 CE.
