  • The Position of the Moroccan Jewish Community Within the Anglo- Moroccan Diplomatic Relations from 1480 to 1886
    The Position of the Moroccan Jewish community within the Anglo- Moroccan Diplomatic Relations from 1480 to 1886 A presentation made by Mohammed Belmahi, KCFO, former Moroccan Ambassador to London (1999-2009), upon the invitation of the Rotary Club of London, on Monday 11th. May 2015, at the Chesterfield hotel, 35 Charles Street, Mayfair. [email protected] The Kingdom of Morocco has always considered its Jewish community as an integral part of its social, cultural, economic and political fabric. The Moroccan Constitution of 17 June 2011 states in its Preamble the following: "[The Kingdom of Morocco's] unity is forged by the convergence of its Arab-Islamic, Berber and Saharan-Hassanic components, nourished and enriched by its African, Andalusian, Hebraic and Mediterranean influences." Both at home and abroad, this community has enjoyed the trust, protection and support from the Kingdom's sovereigns. The Jews have in return contributed in the making of a multicultural and religiously diversified Moroccan society. Their craftsmanship, intellectual skills and international trading networks have helped boost the Moroccan economy. Therefore, Moroccan rulers have, throughout history, kept appointing prominent Moroccan Jews to high government positions such as political advisors, ministers, ambassadors, envoys, official trade representatives, or customs-duty and tax collectors. We choose to review this historical reality and examine it from the specific angle of the Anglo-Moroccan diplomatic relations going 800 years back in time. Such a long history permits us to make a deeper appraisal of the Moroccan Jews' position within these relations. Furthermore, our historical investigations are faced with no dearth of source- material, even when looking for data from as far back as the Sixteenth Century, when a continuous diplomatic relationship began between Morocco and England.(1) We will try to appraise this positioning by analysing a set of events and cases depicting Moroccan Jews during four centuries of Anglo-Moroccan relations, from 1480 to 1886.

  • Symbolism of the Tracing Board for the 17Th Degree: Knight of the East and West
    J. Winfield Cline, 32o KCCH 17th Degree: Knight of the East and West Symbolism of the Tracing Board for the 17th Degree: Knight of the East and West We are told in the materials for this degree that it is the first of the degrees to be founded on the Mystery Religions. Keeping in mind Brother Albert Pike’s assertion that symbols are often used not so much to reveal hidden knowledge as to conceal it, we can expect that the wisdom of the ancient mysteries and the major religious traditions, which we are now moving toward, will continue to be contained in the symbols of this and following degrees to an even greater extent than we have seen before. We are admonished to remember that knowledge is a rare and precious thing, and that knowledge too easily available is likely to be undervalued and lost. Thus, certain levels of knowledge are only available to Initiates, those who have proven themselves, not simply to the curious. These higher levels often contain the true doctrines and insights of the faith or tradition, while the interpretations of symbols given to “the masses” gratify those who are easily satisfied. Those who understand that in all times truth has been hidden under symbols will continue to seek further. This essay will attempt to pursue the hidden meanings of the symbolism of the tracing board for this degree. Before I begin, I would like to share a personal aside. It is possible that this tracing board is responsible for my becoming a Freemason. When I was a boy, my father’s bookcase was full of Masonic books.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • History of the Jews
    II ADVERTISEMENTS Should be in Every Jewish Home AN EPOCH-MAKING WORK COVERING A PERIOD OF ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND YEARS PROF. HE1NRICH GRAETZ'S HISTORY OF THE JEWS THE MOST AUTHORITATIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY OF THE JEWS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE HANDSOMELY AND DURABLY BOUND IN SIX VOLUMES Contains more than 4000 pages, a Copious Index of more than 8000 Subjects, and a Number of Good Sized Colored Maps. SOME ENTHUSIASTIC APPRECIATIONS DIFFICULT TASK PERFORMED WITH CONSUMMATE SKILL "Graetz's 'Geschichte der Juden1 has superseded all former works of its kind, and has been translated into English, Russian and Hebrew, and partly into Yiddish and French. That some of these translations have been edited three or four times—a very rare occurrence in Jewish literature—are in themselves proofs of the worth of the work. The material for Jewish history being so varied, the sources so scattered in the literatures of all nations, made the presentation of this history a very difficult undertaking, and it cannot be denied that Graetz performed his task with consummate skill."—The Jewish Encyclopedia. GREATEST AUTHORITY ON SUBJECT "Professor Graetz is the historiographer par excellence of the Jews. His work, at present the authority upon the subject of Jewish History, bids fair to hold its pre-eminent position for some time, perhaps decades."—Preface to Index Volume. MOST DESIRABLE TEXT-BOOK "If one desires to study the history of the Jewish people under the direction of a scholar and pleasant writer who is in sympathy with his subject, because he is himself a Jew, he should resort to the volumes of Graetz."—"Review ofRevitvit (New York).

  • “The Essential Secrets of Masonry” Insight from an American Masonic Oration of 17341
    152 The Essential Secrets of Masonry “The Essential Secrets of Masonry” Insight from an American Masonic Oration of 17341 Shawn Eyer reemasonry is driven by heritage. Our Craft looks to various pasts to determine its identity in the present: to sacred history through the Volume of Sacred Law, to theF mythopoetic past of the so-called Traditional History, and to our organizational history as traced through regular Masonic institutions and their leaders. Added to all this is the special attention that modern Masonic historians direct toward authen- tic fragments of the fraternity’s history, for such evidence often sheds much-needed light upon the actions and motivations of early participants. However, there are times when, despite all of these deep concerns with the past, some key evidence is simply overlooked. This article is the story of one such treasure: a short speech 1 An abbreviated version of this paper appeared in The Plumbline: The Quarterly Journal of the Scottish Rite Research Society, Vol. 23, No. 2 (Winter 2016): 1–7. Shawn Eyer 153 preserved only in a single manuscript, titled A Dissertation Upon Masonry, Deliver’d to a Lodge in America. A fresh transcription of the text was recently published, with critical annotations by the present writer, in the journal of the Philalethes Society.2 The Dissertation is an approximately eighteen-minute lodge oration or sermon, and is one of dozens of Masonic orations that survive from the eighteenth century. However, what makes this one so special is its early date. It was, according to the manuscript, given on June 24 (the Feast of Saint John the Baptist), 1734.
