    The only synagogue in Essaouria that has never been closed is still active, although there is no longer a Jewish community here.
    It is used by pilgrims or Jewish tour groups visiting the city.
    The synagogue is on the 2nd floor of a three-story building with a courtyard.
    There are two women's areas, one on the other side of the courtyard and one on the third floor, both with windows overlooking the synagogue.

    Historic Community Synagogue, recently restored.
    The Slat Lkahal Synagogue in the Mellah (Jewish quarter) of the medina of Essaouira, was built from 1850 with funds raised by members of the community who mingled with the crowds at funeral ceremonies and begged for alms, and was inaugurated in 1859. "Slat Lkahal" which means "Synagogue of the Community" is also called the “Synagogue of the Poor”. It has also served as a Hebrew learning facility for children.
