Hall of Hewn Stones
The Hall of Hewn Stones (in Hebrew, Lishkat ha-Gazith) was the meeting place of the Sanhedrin during the Second Temple period. The Talmud deduces that it was built into the north wall of the Temple Mount, half inside the sanctuary and half outside, with doors providing access both to the temple and to the outside.
