Abstract:

In every religious tradition there are responsibilities to be made against the supreme existence. These responsibilities are generally called worship. The Mabed means the place that is generally considered sacred where the worship of those belonging to a religious structure is performed individually or together. Mabed is also regarded as the place where the holy being is presented and respect for it is manifested in a sincere way. Each religion has its own template forms. However, the shape of the temple that belongs to a religion may vary according to time and place. At the same time, some changes can also be seen in the sense loaded in the temple. While having a different architectural structure, the temple retains the function of being the place of worship. Every religion is given attention to the temple. The Jewish religion has a temple-centric understanding. There are many beliefs in Judaism that the prayer should only be performed in the temple.  Therefore, the temple in Judaism is located in the center. In the Jewish history, according to the status of the temple, some prayers have either been suspended or changed. When the temple was not found in connection with the exile life, some worship such as the victim was either suspended or continued in the framework of possibilities by making a change in shape and meaning. In this work, we will first briefly refer to the relationship between the temple and the worship in the religions. Then we will discuss the temple-righteous relationship in Judaism by taking into account historical processes and by presenting some examples. In every religious tradition there are responsibilities to be made against the supreme being. These responsibilities, which must be done, are generally called worship. The temple, in its most general sense, refers to a place which is generally regarded as sacred, where individuals belonging to a religious structure perform their worship individually or together. The temple is also regarded as the place where the proximity to the sacred being and the respect to it are intimately shown. Each religion has its own form of temple. However, the shape of the temple belogs to a religion may vary according to time and place. At the same time, some changes can sometimes be seen in the meaning of temple loading. Having a different architectural structure, the templeins its function of being a place of worship. It is given importance to temple in every religion. Judaism, on the other hand, has a temple-centered understanding. In Judaism, there is a belief that many worship should only be done in the temple. For this reason, the temple in Judaism takes place in the center. In Jewish history, according to the situation of the temple some worship has been either suspended or changed. In connection with the exile, some worship, such as sacrifice, were either suspended or reformed in terms of form and meaning during the absence of the temple. In this work, we will first briefly describe the relationship between the temple and the worship in religions. We will then examine the relationship between the temple and worship in Judaism, taking into account the historical processes and presenting some examples.
