Honorable members of the respected Material Committee, may God protect them,

Peace and Blessing.
The Spiritual Committee saw fit in its session from yesterday, Sunday, 8 Adar II 5703,
to submit before your excellencies this request in the name of the officials of the Hevra Kadisha of our community,
who request to add to them some sum of money. Especially in these times when life is heavy
upon man, and especially the poor. And while the Spiritual Committee sees the justice of their words,
they counted and decided to submit this request of theirs before your excellencies, and especially to the exalted
and respected President. The Spiritual Committee hopes that your excellencies will look into this request with an eye of compassion and mercy,
and do what is good and right in the eyes of God and man, and fulfill this request of theirs. And with this, be blessed
from the source of blessings.

Honorable Master
We, the undersigned, servants of the community for several years in the Department of Slaughter and Inspection in Baghdad,
come to request your honor and the honorable committee to look with a compassionate eye upon our current dire situation
due to the cost of living which rises day by day. We serve the holy community
with faithfulness and devotion, and we have no other income besides the monthly salary
that we receive from the community. As is known to your honor, this salary is not sufficient to support
our household members, especially at this time when all commodities are at a very high price. Therefore, we request from
your honor and from the honorable committee to add a decent supplement to our monthly salary
so that we may live a life of rest and tranquility and be able to fulfill our duty in the holy community
with faith and integrity as always.
In the name of the Ritual Slaughterers
and the Inspectors
in Baghdad
I believe that the esteemed Lay Council appreciates the situation of these employees in these harsh circumstances

Our Lay Council decided on 23 / 9 / 943 to transfer the salary of Rabbi Moshe Ibrahim amounting to
3/375 which he receives from the slaughterhouse to the Yeshivot and to exempt him from his duties at the slaughterhouse. Since
the aforementioned person receives a salary from the Yeshivot amounting to one and a half dinars originally, his salary after adding
3/375 dinars becomes four dinars and eight hundred and seventy-five fils, which he will receive from the Yeshivot starting
from the first of October 943, provided that the aforementioned person's continuation in receiving the one and a half dinars of the salary
is contingent upon his continuation of teaching at the Yeshiva in accordance with the Council's decision dated 25 August 943.
