This month’s Moment, a preeminent magazine on Jewish topics, features an interesting cover story on the relationship between Judaism and Freemasonry, a further demonstration of the media’s recent fascination with all things Masonic.
Something I found most interesting about the article is the part about historic Jewish figures being Freemasons. We always hear about Brothers Mozart and Washington, but I was interested to learn about such historic Jewish Freemasons as Haym Salomon, the prime financier of the American Revolution, Hungarian-born illusionist Harry Houdini, American composer Irving Berlin.
Check out the rest of the article here. And also from Moment Magazine a related article about the relationship between contemporary science and the Kabbalah, an ancient book of Jewish mysticism, that also makes mention of Jews and Freemasonry.
