Solar Lodge #131 hosted Worshipful Master Chuck 2.0 Landau of  the Philosophic Lodge of Research to give a  presentation on Qabalah and the Lodge March 21^st . A Kosher dinner was prepared from scratch, according to the strictist Kosher rules. It's ritual purity was matched by the taste, aroma and presentation of a masterpiece. Worshipful Master Brian S.has instituted a full year of educational programs on a variety of subjects, and has already invited PLR's Chaplain Ed Lawson to lecture on KIPLING and THE MOTHER LODGE later in the year.

While not identical, this lecture was similar to the January 3rd presentation on Jewish Mysticism and it's relationship to Freemasonry that received a nice review in The CONNECTICUT FREEMASON newspaper when first presented at Wyllys-St.John's # 4.The program began with prayer, and some comments on the Master's Hat and the Lodge Altar. The second section explained the meaning of Qabalah, it's history, and the development of it's various practices.The context in which the Jewish people developed from a tribal to urban to nomadic family group was explored. The final section applied these teachings to various Masonic rituals, words, legends and Lodge furniture.

Like Freemasonry, Qabalah cannot be learned just by reading, it must be experienced. During the course of the presentation, the Officers and audience were drawn in to supply answers to the questions raised both in the lecture and discussions.
