Interior of Kahal Shalom Synagogue in Rhodes, Greece. Photo: Timothy J. DeVinneyThe Kahal Shalom is the oldest Jewish synagogue in Greece, and the sole remaining synagogue on the Island of Rhodes used for services. (…) The interior of the Kahal Shalom Synagogue follows the traditional Sephardic style of having the “tevah” (the prayer reading table) in the center of the sanctuary facing southeast toward Jerusalem. The floor is decorated with graceful black and white mosaic stone patterns, which is a distinctive design motif used throughout the Old City of Rhodes. (x) -- source link
