After greetings,
With reference to your letter No. 1293/52/14 dated 20 / 7 / 1952, please note the following: -
1- It is not true what you imagined regarding the lack of interest of the Presidency of this community in your lists and various letters; the accountant has contacted
your company by telephone several times to inquire about the nature of the amount claimed by you, which is 25/651 Dinars, and about other details;
Upon investigating the matter, this Presidency did not find anything indicating the existence of a claim against it for your company in the amount of
25/651 Dinars.
2- We understand from the lists sent to us by your company, and among the details of the amount claimed, that the aforementioned amount is for the prices of
spare parts for a car and for its repair fees, knowing that this Presidency had one car used by the former President
which was deposited with your company on 15 / 12 / 1949, and sold on 28 / 2 / 1950, and this Presidency has not had any car after that
date until this day. From this, it is clear that there was no car with this community during the date of purchasing the materials mentioned
in your lists (June and July 1950).
Therefore, please inform us how the purchase of those materials from your company occurred, while stating the name of the person who visited you to purchase and receive them
and the number and type of the car for which those materials were used!
Please accept our highest respect.

Based on the invitation sent by the letter of the Presidency of the Jewish Community, we attended the headquarters of the Community Presidency.
Upon inquiring about the purpose for which we were called to meet, it became clear to us that there are three endowments: the first
was endowed by Menahem and Sassoon, the sons of Saleh Daniel; the second was endowed by Ezra Menahem
and his sister; and the third was likewise endowed by Ezra Menahem Daniel, along with some properties for charitable branches.
In those endowment deeds, what is requested to be clarified in the first endowment is that after the death of
one of the trustees without offspring, the Lay Council participates in the trusteeship with the remaining trustee.
What is requested to be clarified in the second endowment deed is whether it is permissible for the trustee to send missions outside
Iraq as long as the endower stipulated the establishment of scientific institutes and as long as there is no need for scientific
institutes.
What is requested to be clarified in the third endowment is that since the endower stipulated using a portion of the endowed properties
to establish a school where professions, crafts, and trades are taught, as well as the manufacturing of clothes for
the poor and sending students outside Iraq to specialize in one of the industries, and after
the school was established and is carrying out its affairs of teaching professions and others, may the trustee send
students outside Iraq to specialize in professions?
After studying the three endowments and reviewing their contents and conditions, we present
our opinion as follows:
Answer to the first question - It is not permissible to involve the Lay Council in the trusteeship based on
the death of one of the trustees without offspring as long as it was stipulated in the endowment to transfer the trusteeship to the Lay
Council exclusively after the death of the trustees without offspring.
Answer to the second question - Since it was stipulated in the endowment that it is not permissible to spend any
amount whatsoever from the endowment's revenue for purposes other than the school in one of the articles and the second of the endowment
verified by testimony before the completion of the construction and establishment of the institutes, the trustee may not defy
the endower's condition and send students outside Iraq.
Answer to the third question - Since the trustee explained that the industrial school has been
established and is teaching professions and crafts, and due to the non-fulfillment of what the
endower stipulated regarding budget matters, the trustee may send missions outside Iraq
to specialize in professions and crafts.

Acting Head of the Community
President of the Lay Council
Text of the Request for Fatwa
A man endowed a property and stipulated that its revenue be spent on a specific charitable cause, and he appointed two trustees over the mentioned endowment, provided that
the trusteeship passes after them to their descendants, and upon the extinction of their descendants, the trusteeship returns to the Lay Council of the Jewish Community
in Baghdad.
Then it happened that one of the two trustees died, so the endower appointed another trustee in his place and likewise stipulated that the trusteeship be for each of
the first trustee and the newly appointed trustee, provided that the trusteeship passes to their descendants after them, and upon the extinction of the descendants
the trusteeship is restricted to the Jewish Lay Council in Baghdad.
Now, since the endower had appointed two trustees and one of them died without descendants, does the trusteeship pass to the Lay Council
jointly with the other remaining trustee upon the death of one of the two trustees without descendants, or does the living trustee continue to exercise the trusteeship alone
without involving the Lay Council?
Please advise us, and may you be rewarded ⟦line⟧
The Answer
Since the endower stipulated the transfer of the trusteeship to the descendants and after the descendants to the Lay Council after the death of both of them,
if both trustees have not passed away such that one of them remains, then the trusteeship does not pass to the descendants
for whom the trusteeship was stipulated after the two previous trustees, nor does the trusteeship pass to the Lay Council
for whom the trusteeship was stipulated after the descendants. As for the current situation, the judge, if he wishes,
may appoint a partner with the remaining trustee in place of the deceased, and if the judge wishes, he may grant the remaining one sole disposal over it.

interpretation and clarification from a legal perspective. Therefore, I wish to obtain your legal opinion on this matter, requesting your kind
presence at the headquarters of the Community Presidency on Friday morning, 12 / 12 / 1952, at ten o'clock in the morning, or at

We have contacted the person concerned and he stated that
to give his wife Banieh daughter of Saleh a divorce decree
due to what was stated in the letter of the Rabbinate of London. As for
us, we regret that we are unable to perform the writing of
the Get and other usual rituals due to the
absence of a religious body to perform this task.

Dear Mr. Schemtob,
NAIMA
I have been asked by Naomi bat Menasche,
the wife of Katzuri ben Tzalah of the family Daniel, to approach
her husband who lives in your city with a view to persuading
him to grant her a Get. I am informed that her husband works
on the Town Council of Bagdad and that his address is 3 Kamber
Aly Street.
I do hope that you will be able to find a Rabbi
who will undertake this task and arrange for the Get to be written
and delivered to a proxy according to the Laws of our Sacred
Faith. The name of our second Sheliach is Yitzchak ben
Nahum HaCohen.
The Hebrew names are as follows:-
WIFE: | Naima bat Menashe of the house of Salah

Hoping that you can help us in this matter,

Haham Sassoon Khedoury,
Acting President,
Jewish Community,
BAGHDAD
My dear Haham Khedoury,
I am in receipt of your letter of
1st June, ref No.3372/74, in which you informed me that
there was no possibility of writing Gittim for Mr.Katzuri
ben Tzalah Daniel for his wife Mrs.Naima bat Menasche or for
Farha Bat Ezra the wife of Moshe Ben-Zion Selav, of Baghdad.
From your letter I presume that you
probably have no Sopher who could write the Gittim.
Would it be possible for you to call
another two people to constitute a Beth Din with yourself.
You could then ask Mr.Katzuri ben Tzalah Daniel and Mr.Moshe
Ben-Zion Selav to appear before this Beth Din and I am enclosing
two Harshaot for each party, the top copy of which you could
read to whichever one of them it applies and they could be
asked to sign in the appropriate place at the foot of the
Harshaa appertaining to each one of them. You and your
colleagues should confirm the signatures.
This would empower our Beth Din here
to permit the Sopher named in the Harshaot to write the Get
which could then be delivered to the respective wives of these
people who have now been separated from their husbands for a
number of years.
The second Harshaa in each case should
be signed by you and your colleagues confirming the statement
of each party.
I should be very grateful if you could
deal with this matter as expeditiously as possible, because as
I mentioned above, we must have pity for these two women who
are still bound to their husbands although their husbands have
no responsibility for them whatsoever.
