When Algerian consistories were created, synagogues became ideological and presented political challenges for the consistorial administration and the rabbis coming over from France, a problem that became more complex because of the appropriation of the places of worship by the state, which provided grants and had the right to inspect the works. The building of synagogues was then subjected to the ambiguous scrutiny of the colonial administration. However, even the great many new synagogues did not appear sufficient to keep up with the demographic burst in the Jewish population. Moreover, the rules were far from being obeyed, and on the ground, worship remained in the hands of indigenous rabbis. Even though by the end of the century a new trend emerged as a result of the constitution of a middle class aiming at assimilation, ritual practices remained largely traditional.
