The synagogue at Kefar Bir'am, Israel. The synagogue, which dates from the second or third century, is made of basalt stone, standard for most buildings in the area. The six-column portico is unusual. The front entrance of the synagogue has three doorways that face Jerusalem. In front of the entrance are some of the (originally eight) columns with Attic bases which originally supported a porch.
