Regarding Mr. ⟦Yitzhak⟧
I, the undersigned, hereby submit this request to your honor and hope that you will consider it with an eye of compassion and mercy
Since I have been working at the Meir Elias Hospital as a cleaner for about twenty years, and during this time I was
working faithfully and with dedication, and all my superiors were satisfied with my work and my conduct, and recently I fell ill with a disease
in my eyes and I received leave from the hospital committee for a period of three months and I also received my full salary
But now, after the end of the aforementioned three months, I was sent to the community committee doctor, Mr. Dr. ⟦Yitzhak⟧, and he
decided that I can no longer work at the hospital because of my eye disease, and therefore I was dismissed from my job at the hospital
And since I have no other source of livelihood and I am burdened with a family of seven souls and I have no bread to eat
Therefore, I ask your honor with every language of request that you have pity on me and my family and allocate me some monthly amount
as a pension or monthly aid so that I can live on it with my poor family, and for this I will thank you very much
With great respect and anticipation

It is not hidden from your Excellency that previously there were allocations from the community fund for
the Talmud synagogue in Farha synagogue and Sheikh ⟦Isaac⟧ synagogue <del>twenty-two</del>
rupees and a half, equivalent to one dinar and seventy-eight fils, and today fifteen
months have passed without anything being paid. The teachers who wear ⟦garments⟧ have two
at Farha synagogue and two at Sheikh Isaac synagogue, besides ten ⟦Talmud Torahs⟧ and their maintenance.
This is a Mitzvah that is priceless because thousands are sitting wearing Tefillin and the teachers
are in need of salaries, and these are poor people who do not have any source of income except
these salaries. Since this charitable medium called the Kollel
is ⟦depleted⟧ of it, we have come as supplicants to your esteemed council
to pay the accumulated amounts so that we may pay them to the teachers, and we need to purchase ⟦Talmud Torahs⟧
also.

Mir Elias Hospital
Based on your esteemed desire to submit a detailed report on the current situation in the aforementioned hospital, we are honored to submit to you
the following report, after we visited the mentioned hospital and reviewed the progress of work in it and identified its deficiencies
which we deem necessary to reform in order to raise the standard of this hospital and put it in a state that enables it to perform the humanitarian services
required by such an important vital facility, and we see that the current state of the hospital is not befitting the status of the community -
The aforementioned hospital has a capacity of eighty beds, and there are currently 40 patients, including men, women, and children, and
this small number of patients is due to the lack of medical equipment, tools, and necessary instruments, and the lack of
technical nurses and assistants trained in the medical and nursing work needed by such a hospital. We have found
that the hospital lacks the simplest medical tools -
Therefore, we deem it necessary to take the necessary measures to equip the hospital with the medical tools and instruments it needs

1 - Since the needy Heskel Hakham Sassoon Smouha passed away on 30 May 936
it was decided to cut his salary from the needy budget as of the first of June 939, as well as cutting
the salary of the retiree, the widow of Hakham Ibrahim Sabi, who passed away on 29 June 939, as of
the first of July 939
2 - It appeared that the person named Reuben David Yael as well as Heskel Menachem Halebka were receiving
in the year 938/37 an amount of seven hundred and fifty fils per month for each of them from the retirees
and needy budget. From the audit of the 939/38 budget, it appeared that the names of the aforementioned were not included
in the needy budget. Since the salaries of retirees and the needy have undergone a reduction
of ten percent 10% this year, it was decided to reinstate their salaries in the needy budget on
this basis and set an amount of six hundred and seventy-five fils 675/- as a monthly salary for each of them
from the first of October 938

His Excellency the President of the Jewish Community, Respected
His Eminence the President of the Spiritual Council, Respected
After greetings and respect
There is no doubt that you are fully aware of the state of the community's finances and its deterioration in recent years
especially in the past year in which the Council was forced to collect donations from members of the community
to cover part of the deficit, and the situation is still dire from a financial perspective, as is not hidden from you
When discussing the foundations upon which the budget for the year 38/939 should be built, the Council found
after consultation with the committees in the meeting you attended, that it is necessary to limit the
responsibility of the community fund towards the institutions and departments affiliated with it, so that the revenues
it has are distributed in the form of lump-sum allocations to the community's departments and institutions, which must adapt
their budget according to the revenues they have without the Council being responsible for covering
their deficit at the end of the year, so that the financial situation does not deteriorate from bad to worse, and
these foundations were confirmed in the decision of the Lay Council taken on 29 June 938, in which
the Council estimated its revenues at 13 thousand Dinars and decided to distribute them as listed below:
Allocations for the current year 37/938 Dinar Fils | Allocations for the next year 38/939 Dinar Fils | Community departments except schools and hospitals Dinar Fils
5969 978 | 5200 " | 5100 " Allocations
8061 869 | 6075 " | 100 " For unforeseen needs

" 100 | 100 " | Hospitals with clinics
" 100 | ⟦...⟧ " | The fourth installment of the Alliance Society's claim
16331 847 | 13200 " | Allocations for the construction of sanitary toilets in Rachel Shahmoon School
Both the Schools and Hospitals committees have indeed organized their own budgets
for the institutions affiliated with them in accordance with the Council's decision, and when we distributed the amount of 5200 Dinars to
the budgets of the community's departments and institutions, we found that the situation here is completely different from what it is in

Schools and hospitals, given the lack of other revenues besides the allocations for these departments
and institutions, it was necessary to implement a 10% reduction in the salaries of those belonging to them
from the salary, with the exception of the slaughterhouse employees due to the modesty of their salaries and some employees the Council found itself in need
to retain in service, as well as making some adjustments to balance revenues with expenses.
When applying these two principles to the mentioned budgets, it was found that the only section where
adjustments could be made is the section for the needy. We have specifically looked at what the Council spends on the
pensioners and needy section, which in the year 37/938 was (675 Dinars and 444 Fils), and that
given the circumstances explained above, it has become necessary to reconsider the list of these pensioners
and the needy, and to research the foundations and customs that the community has followed since ancient times to allocate
pensions and aid, and the degree of their applicability to the persons who actually receive
pensions from the Council. From the investigations, it was found that the foundations and customs can be summarized as follows:-
( 1 ) A Rabbi who performs a public function such as a member of the Religious Court, its president, or the Chief Rabbi
(provided he spends a long period in service) is entitled to retirement upon leaving service and receives a pension
of his full or partial salary depending on the circumstances. Upon his death, if he has a wife or children who have no legal
provider or source of livelihood, an appropriate amount is assigned to each of the children and the wife. When the children reach
twenty years of age and obtain a livelihood, their right to the pension lapses, and the share of the wife and daughters remains until
they marry or pass away. On September 6, 1925, a decision was issued by the Lay Council, which
was composed at that time of the gentlemen - (Yosef Mordechai Yosef) (Ezra Nessim Hayat) (Menashe Koji)
(Yehuda Saleh Zelouf) (Menashe Murad Mashal) (Ezra Menachem Daniel) - to this effect:-
( 2 ) As for the retirement of non-rabbis, it was carried out according to the Council's investigations as follows:
a) If there was a wealthy family that performed services and provided aid to the community and their situation led
to need, a monthly aid is assigned to its members.
b) If there was an employee who spent a long period in the service of the community, such as 15 years for example, and became unable to
continue in service due to old age or a permanent disability and had no source of livelihood, it has
been the custom to assign him monthly aid from the community fund until his death.
It was also found that the persons mentioned in list No. ( 1 ) attached to this letter
meet these conditions, so it was decided in its meeting on the 20th of this month to include them in the budget.

General for the year 939/38, and an amount of 291 Dinars and 600 Fils was allocated for them to be spent from
within the annual budget, as a settlement of the budget approved on June 29, 38, which was based on
the basis of revenues that, according to estimates, will result in a small deficit.
As for the others, who are mentioned in List No. 2, since the Council, as we noted
on page 2 of this letter, did not find a budget item that could be resorted to for balancing revenues
and expenses for those who are not in need, it has allocated the necessary amount for them outside the budget settlement,
by its decision taken in the aforementioned meeting, according to which the matter will be presented to the esteemed General Council
for deliberation regarding them and finding the necessary source to cover this amount, given the lack of
corresponding revenues and because it will ultimately result in a deficit for the fund.
Out of the Council's desire to ensure and increase the investigation into this case, it decided in its meeting
dated the 20th of it to refer the matter to Your Excellency and to the esteemed Spiritual Council to conduct
an audit of the two mentioned lists, because the Council does not know the status of these individuals and those
affiliated with them, their entitlements, and the current customs in the community previously regarding them.
We therefore request that you inform us of the following points:
1) Regarding the list of retirees No. 1 - who are those the Council believes meet the conditions
of retirement according to the current customs of the community - are there among them individuals who are
not entitled or whose salaries are in excess of their entitlement.
2) Regarding the list of the needy No. 2 -
a) Was there a custom in the community before the Great War to pay salaries to such
needy persons?
b) If such a custom existed, are there among the names listed in the list individuals
who are not entitled according to the aforementioned current custom?
c) And are there among them those who receive more than their entitlement according to this custom and the
financial circumstances of the community at the present time?
Please inform us of the full details as quickly as possible, and remain in peace;
