Rendering

Note that OSM Carto renders building=synagogue like other buildings. Special rendering is caused here by amenity=place_of_worship + religion=jewish indicating place actively used for Jewish religious ceremonies.

The whole area or campus, containing the synagogue, grave yard, buildings for staff residence or education, bell towers, workshops, etc. can be tagged landuse=religious + religion=jewish.
