Our OPEN TABLE LODGE MEETING, to which our Wives and Ladies are cordially invited, will start at 8:00 p.m. with a “ Kabbalat Panim ”, to be followed by the talk to be presented by
Professor Aaron Axelrod.
The talk is entitled “ THE REAL DATE of EXODUS - IS IT FACT or FICTION ? ”.
Professor Aaron Axelrod, who is the T. V. and Cine` Director at the Tel Aviv University, has done considerable research on his subject, and by all accounts, his talk is most interesting, and is well worth hearing.
At the conclusion of Professor Axelrod’s talk, all Worthy Brethren and Brethren will enter the Temple for our November Open Lodge Meeting.

ADD
DIGNITY TO THE MEETING BY COMING TO LODGE DRESSED IN
A WHITE SHIRT AND DARK TROUSERS.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
FROM
THE
PRESIDENT’S
PEN:
The book of Proverbs together with the books of Job and Ecclesiastes are referred to as the “Wisdom Literature of the Bible.” They contain maxims and aphorisms for a better conduct of everyday life. In the book of Proverbs, the ideal of life is a composite of honesty, diligence, helpfulness toward the distressed and consideration for one’s fellow man. Is it a coincidence that they also reflect so many of the basic principles as laid down by our noble order? The authors of these books, together with the prophets, strove to foster among the Jewish people a life of uprightness, and sought to alleviate the suffering of oppressed fellow men. Throughout the book man is warned of the spiritual and physical consequences of evil conduct.
Following are but a few of the judicious teachings from the Book of Proverbs of which we should be reminded from time to time, and strive to heed: “He who controls his tongue is a wise man.” “A wise man listens to advice.” “Reckless words wound like a sword.” “He who guards his lips guards his life.” “Wealth won in haste will dwindle.” “Associate with wise men and you will be wise.”
“The man who loves his son disciplines him.” “He who is kind to the poor honors his Maker.” “A soft answer turns away wrath.” “Even a fool may pass for wise if he says nothing.” “A good reputation is better than riches.” “Do not eat the bread of a niggardly man.” “Never talk to a fool.” “Do not rejoice when your enemy fails.”
“Go seldom to your neighbor’s house, for he may grow tired of you and hate you.” “If your enemy is hungry, give him food; if he is thirsty, give him water.” “Never boast about tomorrow; you never know what that day may bring.” “He who gives to the poor will not come to want.” “Only a fool gives full vent to his temper.” “Defend the rights of the poor and needy/”
How striking are the similarities of these maxims contained in the Book of Proverbs to those precepts of our Order! The similarities do not necessarily indicate a conscious borrowing of one source from the other, but the universality of these general truths make them applicable to all environments. Live by them and you will enjoy a more fulfilled and gratifying life.
Fraternally
