According to the analysis of relevant data, the earliest Hebrew schools appeared during the reign of Solomon in the Hebrew Kingdom. When the kingdom made Jerusalem its capital, it not only built palaces, but also built the first temple. The Holy City became the political and religious center of the Hebrews, which promoted the development of various industries such as commerce, science and technology. In order to cultivate badly needed religious and technical talents, the "Son of the Prophet" school was established. Although the specific form of its existence is uncertain, according to the situation at that time, it is likely to be attached to the temple, so that funds can be raised through religious activities in the temple and donations can be raised to solve the school-running expenses, and priests and prophets can serve as teachers and give full play to their strengths. They teach students rituals such as law, prayer, introspection, meditation and worship, and explain what they know about entering the realm of God. Such schools later appeared in some cities outside Jerusalem to meet the needs of priests and prophets for religious activities.

When the kingdom of Judah in the south died under the iron feet of new Babylon, the Hebrews were in danger of being interrupted and assimilated. Fortunately, the Hebrews, as prisoners, did not forget the Hebrew law and the Hebrew temple. They built a Hebrew synagogue to replace the destroyed temple, and sorted out the Five Books of Moses to replace the missing Ark. Therefore, synagogue is an organizational form of religious activities.

In the book History of Ancient Judaism, it is mentioned that around the 3rd century BC, synagogues in Tiberias, Caesarea and Dole played an important role in Hebrew life. The Talmud clearly states that there are 394 synagogues in Palestinian areas. Young scholars who graduated from temples or synagogue schools in Jerusalem become priests or prophets after working in synagogues all over the world for a period of time, and undertake the teaching tasks of Hebrew and Hebrew law in primary schools attached to these synagogues.

In the 4th century BC, under the impact of Greek culture, many Hebrews used Aramaic or even Greek, and were unfamiliar with Hebrew, which brought language barriers to the study and interpretation of Hebrew laws. Therefore, anyone who trains people to read and interpret laws must first learn Hebrew. Pastors who interpret laws in Aramaic or Greek can study Hebrew in institutions that later developed into colleges (similar classes) and participate in the study of Hebrew laws. These institutions are usually located in the auditorium. In this way, the synagogue is not only a research base of Hebrew law, but also a place to learn Hebrew.

With the continuous improvement of Greek culture, encouraging the study of Hebrew can no longer compete with the popular trend in Greece. Many Hebrews study and explain Hebrew law in Greek in synagogues. It is said that 72 Jewish scholars cooperated with each other to translate the Hebrew Bible into Greek, that is, the Greek version of Seventy Sons, which not only met the requirements of Jews to be familiar with Greek, but also compared and integrated the concepts in Judaism with those in Greek thought, so that Hebrews with a high degree of Hellenism could understand and learn the laws and traditions of their ancestors.

Although it is hard to say how many synagogues have used 70 Greek translations, it is certain that synagogues have become the center of public prayer and learning for the Hebrews. People read, listen and study the Old Testament in the synagogue, which is still the main place for Hebrew education. In the 1 century, Palestine had a network of educational institutions from elementary to advanced. Primary education is a primary school, which can be located in or outside the auditorium. Mainly to educate children to learn the basic ability of reading and literacy. Teenagers go to secondary specialized schools to study Jewish religious literature, while young people go to colleges and universities similar to colleges, which are often located in synagogues or presided over by priests and scholars in synagogues, and young students study and study law under their guidance.

In the higher education institutions run by synagogues, there are quite a few devout Hebrews, who abide by Jewish beliefs and traditions and are called Hasidic School. Later, as a sect of Judaism, the Pharisees tried their best to maintain the tradition of Hebrew law. Because of their rich knowledge, knowledge and wisdom, their position in the synagogue is constantly improving, and they tend to replace the hereditary priesthood. They advocate a rational lifestyle and strive to enlighten and guide students to live a correct life.

Some people summarize the educational function of the synagogue in this way: "The synagogue is a place to study, a Jewish school, which provides education for Hebrew children and adults;" Or it can be said that if the auditorium cannot be used as a formal school, it can be said to be the predecessor and pillar of the school. "

In modern times, the religious and educational functions of the auditorium have been maintained and developed, but its content and form are constantly changing, and the cultural and even political functions of the auditorium are gradually rising.
