Question

Question content: Hello Rabbi, it is written that when the Temple was destroyed, its stones shattered into fragments and scattered all over the world. In every place where a stone from the Temple fell, the place was sanctified to build a synagogue there. Therefore, it is called a small sanctuary. So, what is more correct to say: a synagogue is called a small sanctuary because in every place where a small stone from the Temple fell, a synagogue was built there, or a synagogue is called a small sanctuary because in every place where a small stone from the Temple fell, the place was sanctified as if consecrated to build a synagogue there? What is more correct?

Answer

Hello and blessings 

I did not find such a Midrash or statement.
