‘The new Grand Chaplain’

    
Fratline
The Magpie Mason congratulates RW Bro. Shlomo Bar-Ayal of Abravanel Lodge 1116 on being appointed Grand Chaplain in Grand Lodge!

It’s definitely a choice that makes perfect sense. Not only is he worthy and well qualified, but also the chaplaincy is the best job for his talents. You probably know his blog, the aptly titled Shlomo’s Blog, or, if not, click here.

He also is the moderator of The Masonic Kippah. And, IRL, he serves as one of the tour guides at Masonic Hall. He is a Scottish Rite Mason, a Royal Arch Mason, and a Shriner. Also, maybe more importantly, Shlomo is a pipe man.

(If you do not know, Shlomo is Hebrew for Solomon.)

Mazel tov Shlomo!

‘Isaac Newton and King Solomon’s Temple’

  
Two rules of thumb: 1) If you’re a regular reader of this website, you’re a guy who has nothing to do on a Friday night; and b) Bro. Lenny Lubitz is our kind of Freemason. Combine these two factoids and you have plans for tonight.

I don’t know Lenny well, but he’s one of the Masons who “gets it.” I keep bumping into him here and there. The book club up in Bergen County. The research lodge in New York City. ICHF.

Lenny is a Past Master of Abravanel Lodge No. 1116 in New York, and tonight at Atlas-Pythagoras he will discuss “Isaac Newton and King Solomon’s Temple.” The lecture is open to Apprentices and Fellows. Lodge opens at 7:30.
