His Excellency the Honorable Judge of Personal Matters
Baghdad
According to the endowment deed issued by your esteemed court on 4/25/1945, number ⟦illegible⟧
44 / 126, Mr. Meir Yaqub Rubin Al-Sayegh had endowed his two houses numbered 148 / 113 and
150 / 113 located in the Qanbar Ali neighborhood, and stipulated that the trusteeship of the mentioned endowment
shall be for himself as long as he lives, and after him to the head of the management committee of Meir Elias Hospital, and overseen by
the head of the Spiritual Council of the Jewish Community in Baghdad. If Meir Elias Hospital ceases to exist, the
trusteeship returns to the head of the Lay Council in Baghdad.
As for the endower who stipulated the trusteeship for himself, named Meir Yaqub Rubin Al-Sayegh,
he has traveled outside Iraq and settled in Israel, and his Iraqi citizenship has been revoked. The
trusteeship of the mentioned endowment has become vacant due to the inability of the aforementioned person to exercise the trusteeship. Since the matter of the revocation
of Iraqi citizenship for the trustee is considered a legal death, the trusteeship in such cases devolves to whoever
succeeds him in the trusteeship, which is the head of the management committee of Meir Elias Hospital under the oversight of the Spiritual Council. Given
the transfer of the community's formations and the occupation of the mentioned hospital by the Ministry of Health, there is no longer a committee
to manage the mentioned hospital, nor a Spiritual Council for the Jewish Community in Baghdad in the manner prescribed
in the Jewish Community Law in Baghdad No. 77 of 1931. Therefore, ⟦illegible⟧ the trusteeship has devolved
to Mr. Farid Daoud Samra, head of the administrative committee of the Jewish Community in Baghdad, which is currently managing what
was entrusted to the Lay Council to perform in accordance with the Jewish Community Law No. 77 of 1931, as per
the order issued by the esteemed Ministry of Justice numbered 1944 and dated 11/24/1953. Accordingly,
we request the issuance of a decision appointing the aforementioned Mr. Farid Daoud Samra as the trustee of the two houses endowed
by Mr. Meir Yaqub Rubin Al-Sayegh according to the deed mentioned above and issuing the necessary deed
for that.
With our utmost respect to Your Excellency;

His Excellency the Judge of Personal Status, the Respected
Baghdad
According to the endowment deed issued by your respected court dated 25 / 4 / 1945 and number ⟦no⟧
126 / 44, Mr. Mir Yaqub Rubin Al-Sayegh had endowed his two houses numbered 148 / 113 and
150 / 112 located in the Qanbar Ali neighborhood and stipulated that the trusteeship of the mentioned endowment
shall be for himself as long as he lives, and after him to the Chairman of the Management Committee / Mir Elias Hospital, with the
Head of the Spiritual Council of the Jewish community in Baghdad as supervisor. If the Mir Elias Hospital ceases to exist, the
trusteeship shall devolve to the Head of the Lay Council in Baghdad.
As for the endower who stipulated the trusteeship for himself, namely Mir Yaqub Rubin Al-Sayegh,
he has traveled outside Iraq and settled in Israel, and his Iraqi citizenship was revoked, and the
trusteeship of the mentioned endowment became vacant due to the inability of the aforementioned person to exercise the trusteeship. Since the matter of the revocation
of Iraqi citizenship from the trustee is considered a legal death, the trusteeship in such cases passes to whoever
succeeds him in the trusteeship, which is the Chairman of the Management Committee of the Mir Elias Hospital under the supervision of the Spiritual Council. Given
the reduction of the community's formations and the occupation of the mentioned hospital by the Ministry of Health, there is no longer a committee
to manage the mentioned hospital, nor a spiritual council for the Jewish community in Baghdad in the manner prescribed
in the Jewish Community Law in Baghdad No. 77 of 1931. Therefore, ⟦then⟧ the trusteeship has devolved
to Mr. Farid Daoud Samra, Head of the Management Committee of the Jewish Community in Baghdad, which is currently managing what
was entrusted to the Lay Council to perform according to the Jewish Community Law No. 77 of 1931, as per
the order issued by the esteemed Ministry of Justice numbered 1944 and dated 24 / 11 / 1953. Accordingly,
we request the issuance of a decision appointing the aforementioned Mr. Farid Daoud Samra as the trustee over the two houses endowed
by Mr. Mir Yaqub Rubin Al-Sayegh according to the deed mentioned above, and the issuance of the necessary deed
to that effect.
