The correct response is: They are places for Jewish people to meet and worship their religion no matter where they are in the world.
Synagogues are important in the Jewish religion because they serve as places for Jewish people to gather, pray, and study the Torah (holy books). They are not specifically tied to any particular Jewish lands and do not necessarily involve Greek and Roman methods of worship. The main purpose of synagogues is to provide a communal space for Jews to practice their religion and express their faith.
