Freha acquired French nationality from her father as decided by the tribunal de première instance de Rabat, decision 7776, 20 March 1929.

They lived in Fez, Morocco. Moïse owned a small grocery store in the village of Tissa, one-half hour by horseback from Fez. The store (half the size of a kitchen) sold all sorts of things, and also contained a radio, since Moïse was the receveur des postes of Tissa. He would return to his family in Fez on the weekend.

Moïse and Freha had six children:


  1. Esther COHEN-SCALI married Joseph (Jo) SABBAH. They owned a hotel in Paris.
