belonging to him, sequence 553, door number 31/2, located in the Ras al-Qarya neighborhood, and to keep it
as a valid, final, and eternal endowment (waqf), making it an endowment for the soul of Nom daughter of Eliyahu Nouriel, and making
the guardianship (tawliya) over it to the Spiritual Council of the Israelite Community in Baghdad or any other body that would
have the right to represent the Israelite community in Baghdad in the absence of the aforementioned Council, provided that
the Council or whoever takes its place entrusts the management of this endowment and the spending of its revenue on the designated purposes
after his death, and entrusts it to the director of the Albert David Sassoon School in Baghdad under the following conditions:
And if it becomes impossible to ensure the management of the common shares of the aforementioned house through the director of the

Sequence
Based on the petition dated June 12, 1938, submitted by Eliyahu Ibrahim Tweig,
containing his request for a judgment on the validity and necessity of the endowment (waqf) of the house mentioned in his aforementioned petition, the named person attended
this court on this date. After his identity was verified by the testimony of two witnesses, namely the lawyer Sayyid Salim
Isaac and Mr. Saleh Abboud, he stated the following in the presence of Ibrahim Hayyim Trina, who was legally appointed
for the purpose of registration. He declared, saying: In my full mental capacity, maturity, and by my own free will and choice, I have endowed what is my property
and under my disposal until the issuance of this endowment, namely the house numbered sequence 251 and 177/38 located
in the Ras al-Qarya neighborhood, bounded to the Northeast by the house of the Kaldar endowment 177/54 sequence 259 and ends
at the house of Yusuf Kabna 177/56 sequence 260; to the Northwest by the house of Rosa bint Abboudi 177/48 sequence
256 and ends at the house of Meir Daoud 177/44 sequence 254 and ends at the house of Saleh Mahlab 177/40 sequence
252; to the Southwest by the private road and ends at the house of Narcissus bin Iskenderian 36 and 177/34 sequence
250 and ends at the house of Eliyahu Mira 183/35 sequence 339; to the Southeast by the house of Narcissus 34 and 177/36
sequence 250 mentioned and ends at the house of Eliyahu 183/37 sequence 340 and ends at my aforementioned houses 177/56
sequence 260 and 177/54 sequence 259. I have endowed and detained the mentioned house in its entirety with all its
appendages, attachments, facilities, and all its rights as a valid, perpetual endowment and an explicit, eternal detention until the end
of time. I have stipulated that the house discussed above be used as a school managed by the Al-Hayata
Charitable Association for Girls, where sewing, embroidery, and teaching reading and writing, etc., are taught according to the specific curriculum
of the mentioned association, and that the mentioned school be named (Dar al-Hayata ⟦for⟧ Meir Ibrahim Tweig), and that
the trustee (mutawalli) over the mentioned endowment be the person named Salim Daoud Tawfiq, and he shall have the right to supervise it, renovate it,
and make it fit for habitation, provided that the necessary expenses for that are spent from the association's revenues, and he has the right
to supervise the implementation of this endowment deed. After his death, the trusteeship shall pass to the most upright of his children, their descendants,
and successors, generation after generation. Upon their extinction, the trusteeship shall pass to the President of the Lay Council of the Jewish
Community in Baghdad. The trustee must place a stone plaque on one side of the house door on which
the following phrase is written: (Endowment of Meir Ibrahim Tweig). That plaque must remain in its place even if the house is demolished
and rebuilt. I request the deletion of the fifth and sixth articles from the petition submitted by me on
June 12, 1938. I have handed over the aforementioned house to the trustee present in the council, and he
has managed it as trustees do for a period of time. The trustee Ibrahim Hayyim Trina confirmed everything he said.
After the matter of the endowment was completed and finalized in the manner described, the endower Eliyahu Ibrahim Tweig came forward and stated: I
have revoked the aforementioned endowment and I want to return the mentioned real estate to my ownership as before, so I request an order to the named
trustee to hand it over to me so that I may dispose of it as an owner as it was. The trustee replied that the endowment is valid and that I
shall continue to hold the mentioned real estate for the endowment according to the mentioned conditions, and he refused to return it and hand it over to
the endower Eliyahu Ibrahim Tweig for him to return it to his ownership as before. Each of them insisted on requesting a judgment
according to his claim and defense. After I considered the claim and defense of each of them and the sayings of the jurists regarding the rulings of endowment,
I ruled on the validity and necessity of the endowment deed - the mentioned endowment with all its rights and facilities, specifically and generally, according to the conditions.

File Number - 86/Sh/48
Judge - Mr. Salman Al-Biyat
The head of the Jewish community in Baghdad and Haj ⟦Sayyid⟧ Rashid Mahdi
Al-Askari, Haj Alwan, and Haj Naji, the sons of Hussein Haidar, approached this court with their petition dated 4/21/948
And they presented the aforementioned petition which stated that the plot of land located in the Battaween district, serial number
143/37 is an endowment (waqf) and used as synagogues for performing prayers, and that the head of the community is its trustee (mutawalli).
And that the owner of the adjacent plot of land serial number 143/171 had built his house by mistake
on a part of the land used for synagogues, serial number 143/37, with an area of 184/61 square meters,
instead of plot serial number 143/171. Similarly, the owners of plot serial number 143/172
had built their house on plot numbered 143/171, so that plot
numbered 143/172 has remained empty 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 overseer and trustee of the mentioned synagogues, requested the partitioning of the plot
serial number 143/37 into two plots and the exchange of the plot on which his neighbor Rashid
Mahdi Al-Askari built, with the empty plot numbered 143/172. The owner of the plot numbered
143/171 agreed to ⟦exchange⟧ his plot as well with the owners of plot 143/172. The head of the community
requested the issuance of a legal deed for the exchange in the manner mentioned above. Upon conducting the inspection,
it became clear that Rashid Mahdi Al-Askari, the owner of plot 143/171, had built his house by mistake on
part of the endowment land belonging to the synagogues, serial number 143/37, with an area of 184/61 square meters,
thinking that it belonged to him. Similarly, Naji and Alwan, sons of Hussein Haidar, the owners of plot 143/172,
had built their house on the plot of Rashid Mahdi Al-Askari, serial number 143/171, thinking
that it belonged to them, and plot numbered 143/172 remained empty of any construction. It appeared
as a result of the ongoing inspection 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 oriental value of the two plots 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 to approve it and issue permission for the exchange in the manner mentioned above. Issued
on 5/26/1948.
