To the honorable and virtuous notable, the respected Mr.
After greetings and respect,
We present to you a brief report on the Jewish charitable hospitals in Baghdad containing
eloquent statistics showing the steady progress in these hospitals during the last five years and their financial condition
and their desperate need for the assistance of people of generosity and zeal like yourselves. We are in firm hope that you
will give our appeal the necessary attention and support us materially and morally so that we can revive these charitable institutions.
We also present to you an attached form that we hope you will take the initiative to fill out and send to the Meir
Elias Hospital. May you remain successful.
Sincerly,
Chairman of the Hospitals Committee
Note:
In the year 1934, the first of October was adopted as the start of the fiscal year instead of the first of April. This change led to the closing of accounts
for this year, which began in April 1934, at the end of September 1934, so they could be opened on the first of October. Thus, the year 1934 appears in the
attached statistical table as a half-year only.

His Excellency the Respected President of the Lay Council
After greetings and respect
It is known to your esteemed council that our society ((The Charitable Trades in Baghdad)) was formed
in 1911 and approved by the Ministry of Interior under No. 14952 and dated October 8, 1922, and since it has completed
the purposes for which it was established, the Society decided in its general meeting held on 2/26/1947
to dissolve itself. The Society's bylaws do not indicate how to dispose of its immovable property upon dissolution, therefore
the general assembly proposed in its resolution to leave its immovable property to the Presidency of the Jewish Community, provided that
its proceeds be spent at a rate of four-fifths on improving the children's clinic project at Meir Elias Hospital, and the other fifth on
the Blind Support project managed by the Blind Consolation Society in Baghdad, in accordance with Article (24)
of the Law on the Formation of Associations for the year 1922.
In implementation of the aforementioned General Assembly resolution, we submitted to the Honorable Ministry of Interior a letter dated
3/21/1947, registered at the mentioned Ministry under incoming number 557 and dated 3/22/1947, in which we requested
the issuance of approval from the competent authorities to register the Society's properties as an endowment in the name of the Community, to spend its proceeds
in the manner mentioned.
Since that date, the papers in the transaction have been between the departments of the Governorate, the Police, and the Interior. Given
that we fear the transaction may take longer than this, this Society wishes to entrust the management of these properties to
your esteemed Council to utilize them and spend their proceeds in the manner stipulated in the General Assembly resolution until the
official transaction for their final registration in the name of the Community is completed.
As for the properties, they are as follows:
1 - The shares belonging to the Society in the house sequence 165, door number 30/115 Taht al-Takiya.
From this house, three shops have been partitioned unofficially.
2 - The shares belonging to the committee in the house sequence 71, door number 32/115 Taht al-Takiya.
We submit to your esteemed council herewith a file containing:
1 - Four Tabu deeds, two related to the house sequence 165 and two related to the house sequence 71.

This is on condition that the amount allocated for the children's clinic project in Meir Elias Hospital be spent
for the purpose of improving the mentioned project, repairing and painting the wards, renewing furniture and bedding, and providing
sick children with medications that are available in the hospital pharmacy, feeding them, and clothing them, and on condition that no part
of this amount be spent for any purpose other than this.
We request your esteemed council to order the follow-up of the transaction with the competent authorities to complete the endowment
of the mentioned properties in the name of the community permanently.

His Excellency the Chairman of the Respectable Lay Council
Greetings,
With reference to Your Excellency's letter No. 2506 dated 19/5/1952, I have studied the cases of the Hebra Qadisha
and Tomchei Torah societies and the following results have emerged for me:-
First: The Hebra Qadisha Society:-
1 - The Hebra Qadisha Society was formed at the time by a president and members, and they submitted the internal regulations of this society to the venerable Ministry of Interior.
The aforementioned society acquired its legal status with the approval of the Ministry of Interior for its formation. This
society carried out its work within the scope of its internal regulations and purchased properties in addition to the society. The properties belonging
to this society are of two types:-
A portion thereof is registered as absolute property in the name of the society in the Land Registry Department, and this portion may be sold.
The other portion is registered as endowments (Awqaf) for the society, and this portion may not be sold.
Due to the loss of Iraqi citizenship by all members of the society and its president, the aforementioned society has dissolved and is currently dissolved.
Therefore, to preserve the society's funds and fulfill its purposes, I suggest that the Lay Council appoint members of the society
using its legal powers under the twenty-first [Article] of the Regulations and write to the Ministry of Interior for approval of this,
to acquire legal status so it can begin the tasks entrusted to it according to its internal regulations and dispose of its absolute
properties. This procedure is necessary as leaving the properties in this state leads to these properties remaining suspended.
Second: The Tomchei Torah Society:-
This society was formed after submitting its internal regulations and obtaining its legal license. Three of its members currently remain,
they are:-
Mr. Sassoon Cohen, Mr. Saleh Farah Hayyim, Mr. Sassoon Kirkukli.
The purpose of forming this society is to teach the principles of religion and sociology to Rabbinical students. This
society has acquired good properties in terms of their location, and their deeds are registered in the Land Registry Department in the name of Sassoon Khedhouri in addition
to the society. With all regret, this registration is not correct, and based on this, the president who holds the presidency may sell its properties.
Since all the society's students have lost their citizenship and traveled outside Iraq, the society's work has become stalled, so it is necessary
to find religious students so that the society can continue its work. I suggest instructing His Eminence Rabbi David Rabbi Yaqub to select
at least three students to teach them the principles of religion to be a legal nucleus for the society to continue its work.
Please accept the highest expressions of respect.

His Excellency the Chairman of the Lay Council, the respected
After greetings
With reference to Your Excellency's letter numbered 2506 and dated May 19, 1952, I have studied the cases of the Hebra Qadisha and Tomchei Torah societies, and the following results appeared to me:
First, the Hebra Qadisha Society:
1 - The Hebra Qadisha Society was formed at the time by a chairman and members, and they submitted the internal bylaws of this society to the esteemed Ministry of Interior.
The aforementioned society acquired its legal status with the approval of the Ministry of Interior for its formation, and this
society carried out its activities within the scope of its internal bylaws and purchased properties. In addition to the society, the properties belonging
to this society are of two types:
A portion of them is registered as private property in the name of the society in the Land Registry Office (Tabu), and this portion may be sold.
The other portion is registered as endowments (Awqaf) for the society, and this portion may not be sold.
On the occasion of the loss of Iraqi citizenship by all members of the society and its chairman, the aforementioned society was dissolved and is dissolved
at the present time. Therefore, to preserve the society's funds and fulfill its purposes, I suggest that the Lay Council appoint the society's members,
using its legal powers under Article Twenty-One of the Bylaws, and write to the Ministry of Interior for approval of this
so that it acquires legal status to be able to commence its assigned duties according to its internal bylaws and dispose of its private
properties. This procedure is necessary as leaving the properties in this state leads to these properties remaining suspended.
Second, the Tomchei Torah Society:
This society was formed after submitting its internal bylaws and obtaining a legal license, and currently three of its members remain,
namely:
Mr. Sassoon Cohen, Mr. Saleh Faraj Hayim, Mr. Sassoon Kirkukli.
The purpose of forming this society is to teach the principles of religion and social science to rabbinical students. This
society has acquired good properties in terms of location, and their deeds are registered in the Land Registry Office in the name of Sassoon Khedhouri in addition
to the society. Unfortunately, this registration is not correct, and from this, the chairman who holds the presidency may sell its properties.
Since all the society's students have lost their citizenship and traveled outside Iraq, the society's work has become suspended. It is necessary
to find religious students so the society can continue its work. I suggest directing His Eminence Rabbi Dawoud, Rabbi Yaqoub, to elect
at least three students to teach them the principles of religion to be a legal nucleus for the society to continue its work.
Please accept the highest expressions of respect.
