Tuesday, 5 Shaban, year 1377 and 25 February, year 1958
Instructions
The Administrative Council for Iraqi Jews
I, the Minister of Justice
Based on what was presented by the Bureau of Codification in its decision issued on
11 / 2 / 1958 and the previous ministerial decisions and orders it relied upon
and what is necessitated by necessity and the reality of the situation, I have decided to establish the following instructions
for the management of public funds belonging to Iraqi Jews which were under the management of
the Secular Council that used to handle its affairs in accordance with the Law of the Mosaic Community
No. 77 of 1931 and to put them into effect starting from their publication in
the Official Gazette.
Article One - For the purposes of these instructions, Iraqi Jews means
all Iraqi Jews residing in all parts of Iraq for whom it is proven
from official statistics and civil status departments that they still retain
Iraqi nationality until these instructions are put into effect.
Article Two - A - An administrative committee shall be formed in Baghdad in accordance with these instructions
consisting of five persons from among the Jews residing in
the city of Baghdad.
B - The members of the committee shall be elected by secret ballot in accordance with what is stipulated in
these instructions.
C - The term of membership is two years, and the previous member may be re-elected.
D - The administrative committee shall elect its president by secret ballot from
among its members.
E - It is required that the president and the member be no less than thirty years of age
and the term of the presidency ends with the end of the membership term; they must not have been convicted
of a felony or a misdemeanor, or if convicted, their civil rights must have been restored.
Article Three - The committee shall perform the following actions with respect to all
parts of Iraq, namely:
1 - Management of estates, roofed properties, and utilized properties endowed for purposes
of charity, for which guardianship and management were entrusted to the Secular Council
or to any previous community body.
2 - Management of schools and charitable institutions.
3 - Management of expenditure and revenue matters, collection of community fees,
and appointing the necessary employees for that.
4 - Supervision of the management of slaughterhouses, cemeteries, preparation, shrouding, and burial
from the financial aspect.
Article Four - A committee shall be formed in the Ministry of Justice consisting of the Head of
Codification, a legal coder, and a member elected by the administrative committee from non-members,
which shall be a reference for the administrative committee to which its actions and behaviors are presented and
its budget is submitted, and to which appeals against the validity of its
decisions are raised. The decision of this committee, after ratification by the Minister of Justice, shall be final
and mandatory for execution.

And this committee may present the accounts of the Administrative Committee to a legal auditor.
Article Five - Once the Administrative Committee is formed in the manner set forth above, it must take over the work of the current Administrative Committee and its assets and appoint an auditor to liquidate its activities.
Article Six - Members of the Administrative Committee shall be elected under the supervision of an electoral body composed of a delegate from the Ministry of Justice as Chairman and three persons elected secretly from among ten prominent Jews known in Baghdad.
Article Seven - All of Baghdad is considered one electoral district, and the electoral body shall designate a center for itself therein so that it is easy for the majority of voters to attend.
Article Eight - Voting begins on the morning of the day designated by the Minister of Justice upon the first application of these instructions, and then on that same day at the start of any subsequent election.
Article Nine - A - Before starting the election, the electoral body must organize a list of the names of all those who have the right to vote. The list shall be posted in a prominent place in the election district for a period of eight days before the day designated for the election. Every voter whose name is not included in the list may object to the electoral body twenty-four hours before the start of the election. The body's decision issued in this regard is considered final.
B - The electoral body shall give an identity card to every voter whose name appears on the election list.
Article Ten - The electoral body shall attend the election center provided with election papers stamped with a special stamp that it designates. Then the box is opened so the public can see inside it, then it is locked with two locks, one of which is kept by the head of the body and the other by one of its members. Then the election begins by admitting the voters to the election room one by one. The voter is given an election paper in which he writes the names of five persons and casts it into the box. If the voter is not proficient in writing, he dictates to the
committee clerk the names of the persons he is electing.
Article Eleven - The election is completed in one day no later than sunset. Upon its completion, the committee opens the ballot box in the presence of five persons and sorts the papers, and unstamped papers and every name not appearing on the election list shall be ignored.

Article Thirteen - Election expenses are paid from the Administrative Committee's fund.
Article Fourteen - If a membership on the committee becomes vacant for any reason, the person whose name follows the names of the members in terms of the number of votes shall fill it. If the vacancy is the position of the Chairman, the committee shall re-elect the Chairman in accordance with what was stated in Article Three of these instructions.
Article Fifteen - If one of the members of the committee or the Chairman does not attend its sessions three consecutive times without an excuse approved by the committee, a warning to attend shall be sent to him. If he does not attend the fourth time, he shall be considered resigned and someone to replace him shall be elected in accordance with Article Seven. If the absence is due to travel, the committee's approval of the absence is required, provided it does not exceed three months.
Article Sixteen - Committee decisions are issued by a majority of votes, including the Chairman's vote.
Article Seventeen - These instructions shall be implemented from the date of their publication in the Official Gazette.

Honorable Director of General Secondary Education
Greetings,
With reference to your letter No. 40597 / 3 - H / dated 20 / 8 / 1972 addressed to
the administration of Frank Iny Private Intermediate School belonging to the Mosaic Community, which includes your request to nominate two persons for the purpose
of selecting one of them to manage the aforementioned school, we present the following:
1) The General Directorate of Education / Private Sector previously approved in its letter No. 50016 dated 8 / 11 / 71
notified to the administration of Frank Iny Intermediate School by the letter of the Directorate of Education for Baghdad Governorate / Rusafa No.
64440 dated 17 / 11 / 1971, for the principal of Shamash Private Preparatory School, Miss
Simha Nessim Leila, to manage Frank Iny Intermediate School in an acting capacity, effective from 1 / 10 / 1971 for the reasons
explained in our letter No. L / 508 / 71 dated 28 / 10 / 1971.
2) These reasons still exist as the male and female students of Frank Iny Intermediate and Shamash
Preparatory schools, whose total in both schools together does not exceed (125) students, attend in one
building and under one administration, and they are in reality one secondary school comprising only six classes, three
of which are intermediate and the other three are preparatory.
3) There is no doubt that the multiplicity of directors in such a case causes confusion instead of facilitating the
management of the two schools.
Therefore, we hope for the approval of the continuation of Miss Simha Nessim Leila in managing Frank
Iny Intermediate School in an acting capacity, especially since the aforementioned principal has proven her ability and merit in managing the two aforementioned
schools.
Please accept our utmost thanks and appreciation.
