- Liquidation -
Greetings,
Reference to your letter No. 27166 dated 15/7/1972 regarding the internal
regulations of the Ezra Menahem Daniel Club.
There is no club by the name of Ezra Menahem Daniel Club, but rather there was a sports field
affiliated with the Mosaic schools named the Ezra Menahem Daniel Field. This field was endowed
by the late Ezra Menahem Daniel under the Waqf deed issued by the Personal Status Court
in Baghdad No. 115/148 dated 14/7/1949 (a photocopied version of which is attached herewith).
The trustee is the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews, acting in place of the Communal Council.
Since the Mosaic schools are affiliated with the Administrative Committee for Iraqi Jews,
and the field is a branch of these schools, it does not have any specific regulations, just as the Ministry of Defense,
upon taking over the field, received the furniture from the secretary of the Mosaic Community under
the specific minutes.
Please accept our highest respect.

The map sent to us is not reliable; rather, we rely entirely on the registration record
of the above property, which is registered as absolute property in the name of the Iraqi Jahla Daoud Haskil Habib
We also point out that this General Secretariat will proceed with exploitation in the event of
