Note:
(1) The Lay Council had decided to reduce the hospital allocations in the year 38-939 from 2100 Dinars
to 1825 to balance expenses with revenues. When the aforementioned budget was approved, the Honorable
General Council expressed its desire to restore what was reduced from the annual hospital allocations in the same year 38-939 on
the condition that an increase in revenues occurs. Due to the lack of increase in that year, the
allocations remained as they were.
When organizing the current year's budget, the Council found that the increase in revenues over expenses
helps it implement the recommendation of the Honorable General Council; therefore, it decided to restore the hospital allocations to what
they were before the reduction.
(2) The realized amounts for the year 38-939 for the hospitals were ⟦10160-096⟧ Dinars for expenses and ⟦6388 100⟧

Note: ⟦line⟧
1) The Lay Council had decided to implement a 10% reduction on the rabbis' salaries in the budget for the year 38 / 939 to balance revenues
and expenditures. When the esteemed General Assembly approved the budget in its meeting held on 19 / 2 / 939, it decided (to keep the rabbis' salaries
as they are without reduction on the condition that there is an increase in the revenues of that year (38 — 939). Since the revenues of the year 38 — 939 did not increase,
the rabbis' salaries were paid in that year at the reduced rate.
In implementation of the General Assembly's desire to restore the reduction that affected the rabbis' salaries when an increase in revenues occurs, the Lay
Council has decided to restore the salaries to what they were before the reduction, in view of the increase in revenues in the year 39 / 940 over what they were in the year
38 — 939, as shown in the general budget table.
2) The realized expenditures for the Spiritual Council in the year 38 — 939 were (1333.647 Dinars).
