In a synagogue, certain parts contain extensive biblical verses and prayers. Here are some key areas:

1. The Ark (Aron Kodesh): This is the most sacred part of the synagogue, where the Torah scrolls are stored. It often contains written biblical verses and is a focal point for prayer and ritual.

   

2. The Bimah: This is a raised platform where the Torah is read. Prayers and Torah readings take place here, making it central to the spiritual activities of the synagogue.

   

3. The Siddur (Prayer Book): While not a physical part of the synagogue, the Siddur contains all the prayers recited during services, with many of them being direct quotes from the Bible.

4. Decorative Walls and Windows: Some synagogues have walls and windows adorned with biblical verses and symbols, serving as a constant visible connection to the scriptures during prayer and study.

   

These elements contribute extensively to the spiritual experience within a synagogue through the use of biblical texts and prayers.
