Synagogue   Hi there One or two comments and please do not be offended   Synagogue comes from the greek words  syn  con as in conservative for example and  agogi  disciplinemannereducation which itself comes from the verb  agein  lead also look here httpdictionaryreferencecomsearchqsynagogue  The word agogi from the ancient times and even today has an absolutely positive meaning for example in modern Greece people say He has agogi meaning He has manners He knows how to behave etc  Therefore I would ask you to accept my previous correction which for some reason you thought it was offending or negative It is NOT Thats how it is in Greek and thats the truth Kokoriko  pm GMT
