Judge - Mr. Abbas Shakara
The Endower - Ezra Menahem Daniel
On this day, Ezra Menahem Daniel appeared, and after being identified by the identification witnesses Meir
Hakham Moshe Dangour and Ezra Meir Baroukh, he stated the following:
Of my own free will and choice, and with full mental capacity and maturity, I have agreed to remove the house located in
the Torah quarter in Baghdad, which is partitioned into two houses by unofficial partition, and numbered with door numbers 73 / 139 and
93 / 3 94 according to the Tabu deed dated June 323 and sequence 312, registered in the name of my late father
Menahem Salih Daniel and transferred to me as inheritance according to the two inheritance distributions issued by the Personal Status Judge under No.
136 / 40 Sh dated 11 / 12 / 40 and 34 / 43 Sh dated 29 / 3 / 43 from royal ownership, and I have endowed it
as a valid, final, and eternal endowment for the rest of the soul of my late mother, Rifqa daughter of Abdullah Shlomo, provided that it is taken
as a dispensary to treat and medicate patients among the poor of the Mosaic community, and that this dispensary be named after ⟦...⟧
my late mother Rifqa Menahem Salih Daniel. The trustee of this endowment has the full right and absolute opinion to do what he sees
fit in using the entire endowed property as a dispensary or part of it, and the surplus that remains for him, he may rent it out
and spend the yield obtained from it, first on paying taxes, maintenance, and the necessary construction for the endowed property,
and secondly on treating and medicating the patients who visit that dispensary. If there are no visitors
among the poor to the aforementioned dispensary, it shall be spent on the poor Israeli patients in Baghdad.
Then I have endowed, confined, and delivered into the hand of the trustee of this endowment a sum of money amounting to three
thousand Dinars, of which two thousand five hundred Dinars are for the purpose of spending them on building the endowed dispensary by this endowment deed,
furnishing it, and preparing it fit for the aforementioned purpose at the first time the trustee deems appropriate and until the commencement
of construction. The trustee may invest the aforementioned amount by purchasing government loan bonds or similar ⟦...⟧ papers
that are guaranteed, and the interest obtained from those funds shall be added to the endowed amount and used for the same purpose of construction.
As for the remaining five hundred Dinars, they shall be spent for the necessary maintenance of the endowed property from time to time until the commencement
of building the dispensary intended for the endowment.
I have assigned the trusteeship of this endowment to the Lay Council of the Israeli community in Baghdad,
and if such a council does not exist at any time, then the trusteeship shall be transferred to the authority that takes its place.
The trustee must entrust the management and operation of this dispensary, including the spending of the endowed amount
for the purposes for which it was endowed, to the person or entity that manages the Meir Elias Hospital within
the limits he sets for it. A person named Eliyahu Hayim Tawfiq, the current president
of the Israeli Lay Council in Baghdad, appeared according to the submitted certificate stating that he is the president of the
Israeli Lay Council in Baghdad at the present time, issued by the leadership of the Israeli community dated
26 / 4 / 944, and after being identified by the two identification witnesses mentioned above, he stated: I have
received in full the endowed amount of three thousand Dinars from the endower, Mr. Ezra Menahem Daniel.

Appeared before the court Ibrahim Effendi Daoud Nahum, the attorney for Sir Elly Kadoorie by virtue of the power of attorney
certified by the British Consul in Shanghai and its certified translation by the Notary Public of North
Baghdad on 29 May 1934, number 2548, and stated that according to his power of attorney for Sir Elly
Kadoorie, under the power of attorney authorized therein to dedicate the properties described below belonging to his client and whose
numbers are specified in the power of attorney deed, he has dedicated what is his client's property and under his disposal, which are the five houses located
in the city of Baghdad, one of which is numbered 116 / 34 located in the Taht al-Takiya quarter, the second 113 / 109 ⟦line⟧
located in the Qanbar Ali quarter, the third 113 / 111 located in the Qanbar Ali quarter, the fourth 113 / 113 located
in the Qanbar Ali quarter, and the fifth 113 / 115 located in the Qanbar Ali quarter. He has removed these ⟦line⟧
mentioned properties from his client's ownership and made them a valid, eternal, and binding endowment (waqf) for the sake of God Almighty, with all the rights
and facilities related to them, specifically and generally, with all their contents, not to be sold, bought, or subjected to any
transaction, provided that this endowment is used for the construction of a hospital for the treatment of eye diseases for the poor Israelites
in Baghdad, to be named the Rima Kadoorie Eye Hospital. If it appears at any time that the use of
the endowment as an eye hospital is not possible, it shall be leased for its appropriate value or used in another way, and then
its proceeds shall be spent first on the renovation and maintenance of the mentioned properties, and the surplus spent on assisting the sick among
the poor Israelites in Baghdad in any manner whatsoever. Secondly, this endowment, which was established in this form,
is added and joined to the endowment established by the two endowment deeds numbered 235 and dated July 27, 1924,
and the deed issued by the Baghdad Court of First Instance, under which the two houses numbered 105
and 107 were dedicated, such that this endowment is used in the same manner as used in the previous endowment
attached to the endowment deed numbered 235 and dated July 27, 1924. The trusteeship (tawliya) of this endowment shall be in the hands of
the head of the Meir Elias Hospital Committee and under the management of Menashi Ibrahim Karchi and Sion Ibrahim Karchi, jointly
and individually. After the absence of the head of the Meir Elias Hospital, the trusteeship returns to the Chief Rabbi and the President of the Lay
Council in Baghdad, while the management remains with Menashi and Sion in the aforementioned manner. After the death of Menashi and Sion,
the trusteeship itself returns exclusively to the head of the hospital committee if he exists, and if not, then to the Chief Rabbi
and the President of the Lay Council, and they shall manage it as one, in accordance with what is included in the aforementioned endowment deed ⟦line⟧
of record. He requested the registration of the endowment deed in the explained manner and the issuance of a deed to that effect. After summoning the head of
the hospital, named Meir Hakham Moshe Dangoor, and asking him about his acceptance of the trusteeship over the mentioned endowment and its registration,
he declared that he accepts the trusteeship over this endowment and pledges to implement its provisions according to the articles included therein
and in the endowment deed, and that he pledges to do everything that brings benefit and advantage to the endowment. The attorney
Ibrahim Effendi returned and claimed that he has recanted the dedication of the five houses in question and that he requests their return to the ownership
of his client and to make them free property in his name as before. The trustee Meir Hakham Moshe Dangoor opposed him before
the court and stated that since the endowment is among the binding matters for the public, and the attorney has decided on the endowment and declared it,
and it is not possible to recant the endowment after the decision and declaration, he therefore requested a judgment for the dedication of the five
houses according to the included conditions and the rejection of the attorney's request.

they are under the trusteeship of the Head of the Meir Elias Hospital Committee and under the supervision of Menashi bin Ibrahim Kouhi and Sion
Ibrahim Kouhi jointly and severally, and that the conditions of this endowment listed in the plaintiff's statement be fully applied in accordance
with the endower's conditions, and that this endowment be annexed to the first endowment he established pursuant to the endowment deed issued by this
court on July 27, 1924, number 335; and the trustee, the Head of the Israeli Hospitals Committee named
Meir Hakham Moshi Dangoor, has accepted the trusteeship over this endowment and pledged to manage it in accordance with the conditions
of the endower. Since the aforementioned attorney has recanted the endowment before the court and requested to return the endowed houses to
his principal and make them free property in his name as before, and the trustee Meir Hakham Moshi Dangoor has contested him before
the court and requested a judgment to endow the mentioned houses based on the establishment that occurred for the endowment; and the court
found that ruling for the endowment is more appropriate and beneficial for the public interest. After requesting a copy of the registration of the mentioned houses from
the Land Registry Department, it appeared they are registered in the name of the principal Sir Elly Kadoorie and that they are not mortgaged or seized, nor
does anyone else have an interest in them. Therefore, it has ruled on the validity of this endowment in its boundaries and totality with all its contents, which cannot

dated 25 November 901 registered in the records of the mentioned Sharia Court number 18
and page 117 as a valid, legal, eternal, and perpetual endowment that shall not be sold, gifted, mortgaged, or inherited.

the earth and those upon it, and He is the best of inheritors, on the condition that the trusteeship and supervision of the aforementioned
endowment be for him for the duration of his life, then after him to the most upright of his children, then to the most upright of his children's children and his descendants and offspring

and needy Jews in Baghdad, its proceeds to be spent on them with the knowledge of their Rabbi.

dilapidated and ruined buildings, and its reconstruction and renovation are more beneficial for the endowment interest
than remaining in its current state, and due to the lack of endowment funds sufficient for its reconstruction.

issued by the Baghdad Sharia Court under number 435 dated 14 Rabi' al-Awwal
925 and number 745 from the Presidency of the Jewish Community dated 24 July 925
