| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article applies ethnographic methods and historical analysis to explore Jewish-Arab relations within Israeli freemasonry. This article tracks local Masonic history as the fraternity development from individual lodges under colonial like obedience's in late Ottoman and Mandate -era Palestine into a national level organization, under the ground lodge of the state of Israel. In light of an official position of political noninvolvement, Jewish and Arab-Palestine members conveyed shared value of universal fraternity, but variable interpretation of citizenship and nationalism. |
