The board of the Hebra Kadisha Society met at the headquarters of the Presidency of the Jewish Community in Baghdad, chaired by His Eminence
Rabbi Salman Hoogi Aboudi, and in the presence of the members: Messrs. Salman Dawood Samouli, Sassoon Shaul Nawi,
Yusuf Heskel Isaac, and Ezra Salman Nissan. The board reviewed the letter from His Excellency the Minister of Interior No.
16332 dated 11/10/1946. In view of what has become apparent regarding the lack of necessity for the society's continued existence
under the provisions of the Law on the Formation of Societies, as the aforementioned society's purposes fall under the jurisdiction of the Spiritual
Council by virtue of Article 29 of the Jewish Community Bylaws No. 36 of 1931, and since the society will become
equivalent to the committees mentioned in the referred article, the attendees have unanimously decided to dissolve the society
(and to transfer all its movable and immovable property and assets, whether endowed or non-endowed, to the Presidency of
the Jewish Community, to be managed by the committee formed according to Article 29 of the Jewish Community
Bylaws No. 36 of 1931, provided they are allocated for the purposes of preparation, shrouding, and burial) and to notify the esteemed Ministry
of Interior and the Presidency of the Jewish Community of this. In witness thereof, this minutes was decided and signed in two copies.

To the Honorable President of the Community.
Greetings and respect.
With reference to the letter of the esteemed Lay Council dated 2 / 947, our society
has studied the case thoroughly from all its aspects, and consequently, it found itself compelled to provide the following statements
regarding this issue for your Excellency's information and for the outcome of what you see fit for the interest of the community, especially since every individual must
exert their utmost effort to maintain the current situation due to its direct connection to the comfort of the deceased, especially since the community has
tasted its benefits, and here are the following statements.
(1) It is not hidden from your Excellency that this society did not undertake this mission except after it
witnessed the chaos spreading its ropes and the crack occurring to the members of the community upon the death of their relatives, as a lesson and out of mercy
for the deceased, nothing more. It has exerted superlative efforts and spent its precious time for a noble goal, which is to save the people
from the distress, and indeed it succeeded, praise be to God, in its mission to the point where every individual began to feel great gratitude in view
of the benefits they perceived, and the society was carrying out its work with drive and activity.
(2) Our society faced an invitation from your Excellency to attend a consultation on a matter related to this
mission, and indeed we answered the call and met with the esteemed Lay Council on 11/10/46. In this
meeting, the Lay Council requested our agreement to incorporate Article 29 of the
Community Regulations into our society's internal bylaws. Despite our opposition to this point, as this article and the society's bylaws did not align
simultaneously due to two different rulings, the esteemed Lay Council explained at the time that the purpose of incorporating
this article was nothing more than securing the conduct of the society's election through the mediation of the Spiritual and Lay Councils. Therefore,
out of good faith and the good intentions of the society's members, we agreed to incorporate this article, and this
session caused the provocation of correspondence and the conflict of the society's bylaws with the aforementioned Article 29.
(3) As shown in the previous clause, the incorporation of Article 29 of the Community Regulations into the core

The association's internal regulations and the notification from your Excellency to the esteemed Ministry of Interior caused the aforementioned Ministry's objection
regarding the lack of necessity for the association's continued existence, given the presence of Article 29 of the Community Regulations within the association's regulations. It is
justified in this. Since the matter concerns purely communal affairs, it desires the establishment of general order and tranquility within the community
which is among its subjects. For this reason, it has integrated your opinion in the last paragraph of its letter and requested your Excellency
to approve the continuation of the association or not, negatively or positively.
O Your Eminence the President, the resolution of this issue is entrusted to your Excellency, and the final judgment in this specific matter
is in your hands. You may use the method you see fit for the interest of the community. We see it best to keep things as they
were and notify the Ministry of Interior of that, after deliberation with the Lay Council, informing it and giving it
the details required to close the case in this manner to ensure the comfort of the community. In conclusion, the association offers
its sincere thanks to your Excellency, whom God has made a treasure for this beloved community, and may you remain in respect.
