Israel Masonic visit
Masons and their ladies are invited to a
second visit to Israel 11-19 September,
following the highly successful trip last
November.
The group then attended Lodges in
Haifa, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and visited
Jaffa, the Roman amphitheatre at Caesarea,
the fortified city of Megiddo, built by King
Solomon in the 10th century BC and many
more major historical and Biblical sites.
This year’s tour will re-visit some of the
sites and include new ones. The group will
again attend three Lodges, including the
75th celebration of Lodge Reuven No 1,
the oldest Lodge under the Grand Lodge
of the State of Israel.
Yasha Beresiner, who conducted
last year’s tour, will lead this year’s visit.
