⟦Attended before this court⟧ both the Head of the Jewish Community in Baghdad and Al-Hajj - Rashid Mahdi
Al-Sukrah, Al-Hajj Alwan, Al-Hajj Naji, and the sons of Hussein Haider with their petition dated 4/21/1948
and they supported the submitted petition which stated that the plot of land located in the Battaween district, serial 37/143
is an endowment (waqf) and used as synagogues for performing prayers, and that the Head of the Community is its custodian, and that
the owner of the adjacent plot of land serial 171/143 had inadvertently constructed his house on
part of the land used as synagogues, serial 37/143, with an area of 184.61 square meters instead
of plot serial 171/143, and similarly the owners of plot serial 172/143 had
inadvertently constructed their house on plot number 171/143, so plot number
172/143 with an area of 176 square meters has remained vacant until now, which indicates the good faith of the neighbors.
The Head of the Community, in his capacity as overseer and custodian of the aforementioned synagogues, requested the subdivision of plot
serial 37/143 into two plots and the exchange of the plot on which his neighbor Rashid
Mahdi Al-Sukrah built with the vacant plot number 172/143, and the owner of plot number
171/143 agreed to also exchange his plot with the owners of plot 172/143. The Head of the
Community requested the issuance of an exchange deed in the manner mentioned above. Upon conducting the inspection,
it was found that Rashid Mahdi Al-Sukrah, owner of plot 171/143, had inadvertently constructed his house
on a part of the endowment plot belonging to the synagogues, serial 37/143, with an area of 184.61 square
meters, thinking it belonged to him. Also, Naji and Alwan, the sons of Hussein Haider and owners of plot 172/
143, had constructed their house on Rashid Mahdi Al-Sukrah's plot, serial 171/143, thinking
it belonged to them, and plot number 172/143 has remained free of any building. As a result of the
ongoing inspection, it appeared that this exchange is not harmful to the rights of the Jewish Community endowment, as the area of
the two plots is approximately equal, the location is the same, and the value/prestige of the two plots is equal. Therefore, based
on the conditional request submitted to this court by the Head of the Community and the aforementioned neighbors, it was decided
to approve it and issue permission for the exchange in the manner mentioned above. Issued on 5/26/
1948.

171 / 143 also agreed to exchange his plot with the owners of plot 172 / 243, and the Head of
the Community requested the issuance of a deed of exchange (Istibdal) in the manner mentioned above. Upon conducting the inspection,
it was found that Rashid Mahdi al-Samaka, the owner of plot 171 / 143, had inadvertently built his house

The Head of the Jewish Community in Baghdad and Al-Haj Rashid Mahdi
Al-Samkara, Al-Haj Alwan, and Al-Haj Naji, the sons of Hussein Haider, appeared before this court with their petition dated 4/21/1948
And they supported the submitted petition which stated that the piece of land located in the Al-Bataween neighborhood, sequence 37 / 143,
is an endowment (waqf) and used as synagogues for performing prayers, and that the Head of the Community is its trustee, and that
the owner of the adjacent piece of land with sequence 171 / 143 had constructed his house by mistake on
a portion of the land used as synagogues, sequence 37 / 143, with an area of 184.61 square meters instead
of the piece with sequence 171 / 143, and similarly, the owners of the piece of land sequence 172 / 143 had
constructed their house by mistake on the piece numbered 171 / 143, so the piece of land
numbered 172 / 143 remained vacant until now, with an area of 176 square meters, which indicates the good faith of the neighbors.
The Head of the Community, in his capacity as supervisor and trustee of the aforementioned synagogues, requested the subdivision of the piece
sequence 37 / 143 into two pieces and the replacement of the piece upon which his neighbor Rashid
Mahdi Al-Samkara built with the vacant piece numbered 172 / 143. The owner of the piece numbered
171 / 143 also agreed to exchange his piece with the owners of piece 172 / 243, and the Head of the
Community requested the issuance of a deed of replacement in the manner mentioned above. Upon conducting the inspection,
it was revealed that Rashid Mahdi Al-Samkara, the owner of piece 171 / 143, had built his house by mistake
on a portion of the endowment piece belonging to the synagogues, sequence 37 / 143, with an area of 184.61 square
meters, thinking it belonged to him, and that Naji and Alwan, the sons of Hussein Haider, owners of piece 172 /
143, had built their house on the piece of Rashid Mahdi Al-Samkara, sequence 171 / 143, thinking
it belonged to them, and the piece numbered 172 / 143 remained vacant of any construction. As a result of the
ongoing inspection, it appeared that this replacement is not harmful to the rights of the Jewish Community endowment, as the area
of the two pieces is approximately equal, the location is the same, and the value of the two pieces is equal. Therefore, based
on the joint request submitted to this court by the Head of the Community and the aforementioned neighbors, it was decided

The Judge - Mr. Suleiman al-Bayat
The Head of the Israeli Community in Baghdad and Al-Hajj - Rashid Mahdi
Al-Sakra, Al-Hajj Alwan, Al-Hajj Naji, and the sons of Hussein Haider appeared before this court with their petition dated 21 / 4 / 1948
And they supported the submitted petition which stated that the piece of land located in the Battaween neighborhood, sequence 32 / 143
Is an endowment (waqf) and used as synagogues for performing prayers, and that the head of the community is the trustee over it, and that
The owner of the adjacent piece of land with sequence 171 / 143 has inadvertently built his house on
A part of the land used for synagogues, sequence 32 / 143, with an area of 184.61 square meters instead
Of the piece sequence 171 / 143, just as the owners of the piece of land sequence 172 / 143 have
Inadvertently built their house on the piece numbered 171 / 143, so the piece of land
Numbered 172 / 143 remained vacant until now, with an area of 176 square meters, which indicates the good faith of the neighbors.
The head of the community, in his capacity as supervisor and trustee of the mentioned synagogues, has requested the subdivision of the piece
Sequence 32 / 143 into two pieces and the exchange of the piece upon which his neighbor Rashid
Mahdi Al-Sakra built, for the vacant piece numbered 172 / 143. The owner of the piece numbered
171 / 143 also agreed to exchange his piece with the owners of piece 172 / 143, and the head of the
Community requested the issuance of an exchange deed in the manner mentioned above. Upon conducting the inspection,
It became clear that Rashid Mahdi Al-Sakra, the owner of piece 171 / 143, had inadvertently built his house
On a part of the endowment land belonging to the synagogues, sequence 32 / 143, with an area of 184.61 square
Meters, thinking it belonged to him; just as Naji, Alwan, and the sons of Hussein Haider, owners of piece 172 /
143, had built their house on the piece of Rashid Mahdi Al-Sakra, sequence 171 / 143, thinking
It belonged to them, and the piece numbered 172 / 143 remained free of any building. It appeared as a result of
