Massive fire engulfs synagogue in Manhattan (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)

Dozens of firefighters are battling a massive blaze at a historic synagogue in lower Manhattan.

The fire engulfed the Congregation Beth Hamedrash synagogue in the Lower East Side around 7pm. It quickly grew to a 3-alarm fire inside the abandoned building, according to the FDNY.

The 1850 Gothic synagogue building served as the house of worship for the Beth Hamedrash Hagodol, an Orthodox Jewish congregation before the synagogue shut in 2007.

There were no reports of any casualties from the authorities, but the roof of the building has reportedly collapsed.
