Subject / The House of the Girls' Charitable Sewing Association
His Excellency the President of the Jewish Community, Respected
Baghdad
Greetings and respect, and thereafter,
The subject of the house that belonged to the Girls' Charitable Sewing Association is not
hidden from your Excellency, and yet I found it appropriate to submit this report summarizing
the matter for the record and for the information of the specialized men who were not previously aware of it.
The house numbered with door number 38/177 and land registry sequence 251 located in
Ras al-Qarya neighborhood belonged to the late benefactor Eliyahu bin Ibrahim Tweig, and he
had registered it in the land registry in the name of (Girls' Charitable Sewing Association). Since this
association became dissolved, and for the purpose of liquidating the association's assets, the Baghdad Court of First Instance
placed the mentioned house in an auction. During that time, and with the hope that the community would benefit from the
sale proceeds, and after consultation with your Excellency, you wrote to His Excellency the Judge of the Baghdad Court of First Instance -
Letter No. T 56/3676 dated 3/7/1956, which among other things stated
therein (that the late Eliyahu Tweig had endowed this house and registered it in the name of the association
for the purpose of making it a place for a school where sewing, embroidery, reading, and writing are taught
to poor girls according to the association's curriculum, and requested His Excellency the Judge liquidating this
association to observe the will of the endower regarding his house and to state this matter to the
Honorable Council of Ministers when considering the distribution of the funds of this association).
In addition to the above, and on 5/9/956, Mr. A. Selim Daoud Tawfiq, in his capacity as
the trustee of the mentioned house, submitted a petition to the court to the effect mentioned above. And
during the month of July 1956, the house was initially awarded for an amount of two thousand dinars to
Mr. Rashid Al-Haj Muhammad Jandeel. When I found that the amount was very small and the
community could not benefit from it in any significant way, I went and placed from my own pocket a deposit of three hundred dinars
according to receipt No. 185636 dated 7/29/1956 and entered the auction. As a result,
the auction value reached an amount of (7200) dinars and I withdrew my hand.

Upon completing the liquidation, it was found that the court was unable to instruct on the method of liquidation, therefore
we agreed to submit a petition explaining the method, and we submitted petition No. / T 57/416
dated 1/3/1957, which you were kind enough to sign with Mr. Salim Daoud Tawfiq, and the judge
was kind enough to refer it to the Ministry of Interior immediately.
When the papers reached the Ministry of Interior and were reviewed, it was found that the Associations Law No.
63 of 1955 did not allow the distribution of the balance except to a similar association, and the community does not have
such an association.
It was necessary to consult the Director of Legal Affairs in this regard, and I requested that you present to him
and perhaps you did so by telephone, as I was very pleased to hear that you went personally to him
on the occasion of his promotion. As a result of these reviews, a recommendation was obtained to distribute part of the balance
to one of the community's associations, and the ⟦...⟧ Qadisha Charity Association was chosen. Accordingly, the approval of
the esteemed Council of Ministers was obtained, and the venerable Ministry of Interior wrote to the mentioned association the letter No.
F. S. / 448 dated 2/5/1957.
With highest respect to you.
Sincerely,
Lawyer Subhiyun Hayhi
