Police said the shooter was killed by security forces.
Israel’s ambulance service said ten people were wounded in the incident, which police have described as a “terror attack.”
Those injured include a 70-year-old woman in critical condition and a 14-year-old boy in serious condition, Israeli rescue service MADA said.
At least five people were declared dead at the scene.
Cops say the gunman arrived at the synagogue by car before taking aim at people.
It is understood a handgun used in the attack has been seized.
The United States has condemned the apparent terrorist attack.
US State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said officials were in touch with their Israeli counterparts and that he did not expect changes to Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Israel next week.
The shooting comes a day after Israeli troops killed nine Palestinians in the deadliest West Bank raid in years.
The raid in the flashpoint Jenin refugee camp descended into a gunbattle that killed at least nine Palestinians, while clashes elsewhere left a tenth dead.
