Perhaps you have heard of the amazing discovery of a decorated torah table at the Migdal dig. It is now safely ensconced in the Israeli museum, but a full size replica can be viewed at the site. 
Most scholars think the table would have been used to roll out a Biblical scroll on, for the reading during the synagogue service, and I agree that is likely. Note the menorah as well as the floral patterns on the carved stone table. This was not a table for ordinary use. Now as for the synagogue itself, which would have also served as a meeting house during the week where the city elders might get together, note the mosaic floor with meander pattern, which was damaged due to an earthquake. 
The effects of the quake are especially clear here….
A wider view of the meeting place shows it to be a place where perhaps 40 or so people might gather…
Notice the painted designs from the original wall.
The fishing industry areas and shops are in fact right next to the synagogue… and the worshippers must have smelled it, and its pickling salts all the time….
Here are some of the original vats…
There were also conduits for the water needed to put into the vats to keep the fish fresh, until they would be killed and cooked, or pickled. 
This site has become a must visit site for those who care about Biblical history. Turns out, Mary Magdalene did not live in a tiny fishing village, but rather a thriving city with a significant synagogue.
