Would You Join a Masonic Lodge?

I'm female, so I can't anyway.

Are there Jewish Masons? I can never remember.

My grandfather was a 32nd degree Mason, and a member of Scottish Rite. He joined his Blue Lodge while in the Philippines in the 1930s - he said it kept him on the "straight and narrow" and "out of the bars." When he died in 1991, he was buried in his apron and had the Masonic funeral rites at graveside.

In his honor, I joined the Order of the Eastern Star last year. It is my privilege to sit as Adah this year.

My grandmother never joined OES - she said it was full of little old ladies (of which she was certainly not one ). That said, I do bring the average in my chapter down to about 60...

You grandfather is surely smiling down on you, sweetheart. Welcome to the family! *hugs*

My grandfather and my uncle were Masons. My grandmother and step mother were Eastern Stars. My dad is a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason. He has been a Mason for sixty years.

He asked me recently if I would like to become a Mason. I have nothing against the Masons, but one fraternal order is enough for me.
