As Rabbi Isaac Wise wrote: “Freemasonry is a Jewish establishment, whose history, grades, official appointments, passwords and explanations are Jewish from beginning to end.” We also find The Jewish Guardian stating in April 1922 “Freemasonry is born out of Israel.” And in the July 1928 edition of the Masonic magazine Le Symbolisme we read “The most important duty of Freemasonry must be to glorify the Jews, which has preserved the unchanged divine standard of wisdom.” And in a 1927 editorial of the Jewish Tribune we find “Freemasonry is based on Judaism. Eliminate the teachings of Judaism from the Masonic ritual and what is left?” In Israel today there are believed to be approximately sixty Masonic lodges with around three thousand members. In the U.S.A. there have been fifty one Grand Masters who have been Jewish: a disproportionate representation when we remember that Jews make up only three percent of the U.S. population.
