The Honorable Mr. Hayyim Eliyahu Hayyim Tawfiq, Respected
After greetings,
The obituary of your late father had a painful impact on the souls of the members of the
Lay Council, due to the commendable qualities and the strong dedication the deceased possessed
regarding the interests of the community and the great services he rendered to the community by holding
the presidency of the Lay Council for nearly twelve years, which has left him an eternal
memory in the hearts.
Therefore, our Lay Council decided in its first session held after receiving
the obituary of the noble departed to express its participation in the deep sorrow for the death of the deceased,
expressing the loss suffered by the community upon his death, and offering condolences to his noble
family in this painful disaster, asking the Almighty to dwell the deceased in
His spacious gardens and to protect the family and children of the deceased with His watchful eye to be the best successors
to the best predecessor.
Please accept the highest respect,
Vice President

His Excellency, the respected President of the Lay Council
After greetings and respect.
I submit to your Excellency this resignation from the esteemed Lay Council
due to the inability of the Inspection Committee, of which I am a member, to carry out its work
under the current circumstances and the interference of some irresponsible elements in managing
the helm of these matters of great importance in a manner that conflicts with the interest of the community,
especially after the harsh past experiences.
It truly pains me to find myself forced to withdraw from work in
the service of my community in the current delicate circumstances it is passing through, but I
ask God Almighty to guide your steps toward what is good.
Please accept my highest respects and my sincere prayers for your success.

Statement
From the Jewish Lay Council in Baghdad
To the members of the Jewish community
The Lay Council clarifies to the members of the Jewish community that the President of the Council, Mr.
Heskel Dawood Shemtob, is serving as the Acting President of the community due to the vacancy of this position. Before
his travel outside Iraq, he wrote two letters to the Ministry of Justice dated August 2 and 10,
1950, in which he requested the convening of the General Council to elect a permanent president for the community in accordance with Article
(19) of the Jewish Community Regulations. Accordingly, the Lay Council invited the General
Council to meet last Tuesday evening, August 22, 1950, to elect a president
for the community, fulfilling the wish of Mr. Heskel Shemtob himself. The Council did not nominate anyone
for this position, nor did it ever consider nominating the former head of the community, Rabbi
Sassoon Khedhouri, who has retired from all work related to the community since his resignation
nine months ago.
Due to the lack of a quorum for the General Council meeting, the
meeting was postponed to another date. Consequently, Mr. Heskel Shemtob remains the President of the Lay
Council and the Acting President of the community.

The subject concerns my resignation from the "Acting Presidency of the Community" and from the presidency of the Lay Council
and membership in this council due to my upcoming travel to Europe for health reasons. Recently, the desire of
both this council and the delegation it appointed, as well as the community notables around the departments, emerged regarding accepting the mission in the community
Therefore, in compliance with the desire of the Government, may God support it, to implement cooperation regarding governmental and communal matters
and to implement the aforementioned desires, it was necessary to state the following observations: -
Acting Presidency of the Community.
What requires drawing attention is that the resignation letter clarifies with the utmost clarity the extreme necessity
which was created by the known difficult circumstances for everyone regarding filling the position of the Presidency of the
Community in an acting capacity by reconciling paragraph (2) of Article (6) of the Jewish Community
Law No. (77) of 1931 with a special erroneous interpretation in the event of a "vacancy in the position of the
Head of the Community," such that the matter led to performing honorary service for a period of (8) months past, and the
mentioned vacancy followed the issuance of the High Royal Decree No. 700 on 4 / 12 / 1941
by implementing the prior resignation.
Speed of electing a new Head of the Community according to Article (11) of the Bylaws.
There is now a vacancy in the position of the Head of the Community, which calls for the application of Article
(11) of the Jewish Community Bylaws No. 36 of 1931 immediately. Because Article (6) paragraph
(2) of the Community Law discussed in the previous paragraph is limited in application to
special cases where there is a "Head of the Community," not in the case of a vacancy in the position of the Head of the Community. Interpretation
to the contrary is considered erroneous from a legal perspective, requiring that the error not be repeated, neither by the council

the Lay Council nor from the General Council.
Accordingly, it is necessary to apply the mentioned regulation in its entirety and elect a head for the community
immediately.
