The Hara Seghira Synagogue or Yeshiva Dighet (Arabic: كنيس حارة صغيرة، يشيفا ديغت) 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.^[1] The synagogue and yeshiva ceased to operate in the 1970s.

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.

In 2023 Djerba was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.^[3]
