A synagogue next to a place of idolatry

Hi,

There is no problem with having a synagogue is located next to a place of idol worship, evening if bowing toward the Aron Kodesh results in bowing toward the place of idol worship. It is clear that one is bowing as is normally done in synagogues, and it is not considered worship of the building next door.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 1:47)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
