General Secretariat for the Supervision and Administration of the Property of Jews
Whose Iraqi Citizenship Has Been Revoked
Greetings,
With reference to your letter No. 3026 dated 20 / 5 / 1951 issued by the Secretariat of Rights and Commercial Affairs.
1 - Since these Torah scrolls may not be sold as they are considered the property of one of their deceased members, this department
naturally requests their transfer to the countries to which they are traveling.
2 - As for the number, it has become clear through research that some individuals have approached us requesting mediation with the competent departments
to provide them with the necessary permits to transfer the Torah scrolls among their belongings to the Foreign Exchange Department, and the
registered requests have reached (64) sixty-four requests, and many requests are still reaching us in this regard.
3 - As for the cost incurred for travel, we wish to place the following points before your esteemed General Secretariat:
a - Not all Torah scrolls are lightweight; some of them are partially encased in wood. If the travel requires full
encasement, the weight of the casing in this case would be about 800 mithqals, but if it is partially encased, the mentioned weight
would be about 150 - 200 mithqals.
b - These scrolls were encased in lightweight material when they were made, i.e., decades ago.
c - We confirm what was stated in our letter No. 51/1864 dated 8 / 5 / 1951 that these scrolls cannot be considered
wealth because they cannot be sold or disposed of in any way.
In view of the approaching travel of most applicants and its passing for others, we hope for a speedy decision on the matter.
Please accept our highest respect.

Greetings,
With reference to your letter No. 3026 dated 20 / 5 / 1951 issued by the Secretariat of Rights and Commercial Matters.
1 - Since these Torah scrolls are an integral part of the family, being considered like one of its deceased members, this family
naturally requests their transfer to the country to which they are traveling.
2 - As for the number, it may appear from the investigation that some individuals have approached us requesting mediation with the competent departments
to provide them with the necessary licenses to transfer the scrolls, and we have referred their requests to the Foreign Exchange Department. The
stalled requests have reached (64) sixty-four requests, and many requests are still reaching us in this regard.
3 - As for the silver with which the scroll is encased, we would like to place the following points before your esteemed General Secretariat:
A - Not all scrolls are fully encased in silver; some are partially encased. If the scroll is fully
encased, the weight of the silver in this case is about 800 mithqals, but if it is partially encased, the mentioned weight
is about 150 - 200 mithqals.
B - These scrolls were encased in silver at the time of their manufacture, i.e., several decades ago.
C - We confirm what was stated in our letter No. 51/1864 dated 8 / 5 / 1951 that these scrolls cannot be considered
wealth because they may not be sold or disposed of in any way.
In view of the approaching travel of most of the applicants and the passing of time for others, we hope for a speedy decision on the matter.

After greetings,
Your letter No. 5895 dated 17 / 7 / 1951
1 - Religion and Sharia will not permit under any circumstances the disposal in any form
of the curtains.
2 - Most of the curtains do not exceed the cost of salvaging the debt encumbering them by two dinars, despite the impermissibility of
disposing of them.
Accordingly, we request your Excellency to allow the settlement of their debts and to claim them from the religious and Sharia authority.
With highest respect to your Excellency.
