Hara Seghira Synagogue

The Hara Seghira Synagogue (Arabic: كنيس حارة صغيرة) is a former Orthodox Jewish congregation, synagogue, and yeshiva, located on Moktar Attia Street, just north of Place L’Independence, in the town of Er Riadh on the island of Djerba, Tunisia.

Er Riadh is the modern name for the ancient Jewish village of Djirt, which became known as “Hara Seghira” or the “Small Ghetto”.

[2] As the Jewish community of the village declined, the synagogue and yeshiva were abandoned and the building fell into a state of dilapidation.

The Jewish community of Er Riadh, numbering around 80, is centered on the El Ghriba synagogue, located on the southern outskirts of the village.
