His Excellency, the Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Israelite Community, Respected
Subject:
I used to receive an allowance of five dinars, which was a grant for both the Feast of Tabernacles and Passover,
and that was before the formation of your respected committee. I have not received the mentioned grant since the date
you took over the administration of the community, as two years have passed without the grant being paid. I request your approval to
disburse it, totaling twenty dinars. This matter is for your Excellency's consideration.
