Following the life of suzanne Harroch a member Following the life of Suzanne Harroch, a member of the Jewish community of Rabat, the DAKIRA staff visited Erfoud, which was founded in the 1920s by the French protectorate. Moroccan Jews were moved to Erfoud from some surrounding villages (Ouled Ali and Jrana). According to a report written at “La Voix des Communautés” in 1950, there were 8 synagogues in the city. The majority were located near the river, where the majority of the members of the Jewish community lived. Near the city center, the DAKIRA staff visited a ruined synagogue, Slat Nizri. While interviewing the owners of the small shops scattered along the Saharan streets of the city, they asserted that their shops once belonged to the Jews of Erfoud who were either cobblers, silversmiths, or cloth vendors.
