Salih Murad Shukur, residing in the Al-Bu Juma'a quarter of Karrada al-Sharqiya, appeared before the court with his petition dated
12 March 1930, stating that the vacant plot located in the Al-Bu Juma'a quarter, newly numbered 50/00 and formerly
343, with sequence number 553, belonging to him under the permanent land registry deed dated December 1928 and numbered
15, Volume 87, he wishes to convert into a Torah, i.e., a place of prayer for the Jewish community, as an endowment, provided that
the trusteeship remains in his hands as long as he is alive, and after his death, the trusteeship passes to his descendants, generation after generation,
descendant after descendant, and if his lineage goes extinct, the trusteeship passes to the descendants of his brothers, generation after generation, and if
they go extinct, the trusteeship passes to the descendants of his relatives who are connected to him, and if everyone goes extinct, the trusteeship passes
to the Chief Rabbi and whomever he selects from among the clergy who are the most capable and pious of them, and he requests the registration of this
endowment and to be granted a decree to that effect. So the aforementioned Salih Murad Shukur appeared, and after his identification by the two witnesses, Eliyahu
son of Heskel Sogeir, a haberdasher, and the lawyer Shimon Effendi Heskel, he repeated the contents of his petition and added
saying that the plot located in the Al-Bu Juma'a quarter in Karrada al-Sharqiya, formerly numbered 343 and newly 50/00,
sequence 553, is his property and under his disposal according to the Khaqani deed dated 18 December ⟦...⟧
and folder number 553, which states that the plot located in the Al-Bu Juma'a quarter in Karrada al-Sharqiya belongs
to Salih Murad Shukur, an Iraqi national. He intends to remove the aforementioned plot from his ownership and make it a temple for the
Mosaic community (i.e., Torah), and the trusteeship of the aforementioned Torah shall be in his hands ⟦...⟧ as long as he is alive, and after
his death, the trusteeship passes to his male descendants, excluding females, and if his lineage goes extinct, it passes to the descendants of his brothers, generation
after generation, and after them, the trusteeship shall be for the descendants of his relatives, generation after generation, and if they all go extinct, it passes
to the Chief Rabbi of the Mosaic community in Baghdad. Upon the court's inquiry, a response was received from
the Land Registry Department dated 2/4/1930, numbered 1435, stating that the plot located in the Al-Bu Juma'a quarter
in Karrada al-Sharqiya, numbered with the old door number 343 and sequence 553, is registered in the name of Salih Murad
Shukur, and that it ⟦...⟧ is neither mortgaged nor seized. Accordingly, the aforementioned requested a judgment on the validity of the endowment ⟦...⟧
Based on the above, a judgment was issued for the validity of the endowment in its general and specific terms, and the necessity of its implementation in the manner mentioned, and to deposit

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.
