The Jews' synagogues are in Duke's Place, where, and in that neighbourhood, many of that religion inhabit.

The child Jesus did not receive instruction in the synagogue schools. His mother was His first human teacher. From her lips and from the scrolls of the prophets, He learned of heavenly things.
