62. Page About Freemasonry, Essays: Pythagoras And Mystic Science Rabbi abraham benezra of Toledo published his famous mathematic books Their study was based on a work by Rabbi abraham ben-ezra, Euclid, and Ptolemy. http://web.mit.edu/dryfoo/Masonry/Essays/pythagoras.html

Dr. Daniel Farhey, Jacob Caspi Lodge, Haifa, Israel In fact, the "Ancient Mysteries' Magi" specialized in "science" as it was perceived in those days, with the considerable influence of their "specialization" in paganism. The sparse knowledge of the Magi and the surrounding society caused the secrecy and mysticism. At this period, special instructors called "Sophists" (scholars) were brought from Sicily. Opposed to the first and original Pythagoreans, the Sophists taught for pay and somehow abandoned the secrecy and mysticism. Hippocrates, a Pythagorean, was the principal combatant against the secrecy and published for the first time a book entitled "Principles". Subsequently, a very famous school was founded in Alexandria, Egypt, under Pythagorean influence. The most famous scholars were Euclid, Ptolemy, Menelaus, and Nicomachus, who revived the original Pythagorean theory. After the year A.D. 415, these theories did not continue to develop in Alexandria and the principal subject for research and study was theology, while the paganism passed away with the art of science. In the year A.D. 529, all the schools in Athens were closed according to an order of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I, thus ending one of the most brilliant periods in the development of mathematics and science. The philosophy and many theories on the Pythagorean way of life, transmitted orally by Pythagoras, were considerably influenced by the way of life of Judaism and the Bible, which was the only source explicitely prescribing the order. King Solomon lived about 400 years before Pythagoras. After the destruction of the First Temple of Jerusalem (586 B.C., before Pythagoras was born), under foreign and hostile rule, Jews gathered in regional schools. The five-pointed star (not six!) refered in Judaism "Solomon's Seal" and by the Greeks "pentagrama", was, in addition to the triangle, one of the symbols of the Pythagoreans. As known, the most ancient source of the pentagrama found by archeologists is Jewish. There is even a presumption that it was the symbol of the Jews before the six-pointed star "Shield of David".

destinations in egypt cairo : roman cairo : roman fort Cairo: History Roman Cairo The Roman fort The Greek Orthodox Church and Monastery of St George (Mari Girgis) is built onto the northern of the twin western towers of the Roman fort. The current structure was built in 1909 after being gutted by fire in 1904, but the original church is documented from the tenth century. This is the seat of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch and the Monastery is closed to the public. Until recently, the basement of this church provided access to the lower rooms of the tower of Babylon, but these rooms have now been 'renovated' and no longer bear any trace of their Roman origins; nor are they open to visitors. Also of interest inside the fort are the Convent of St George, the Churches of St Sergius/St Bacchus and St Barbara and the Synagogue of Ben Ezra. The Convent is closed, but its tenth-century chapel is worth a visit. The crypt of St Sergius's church is reputedly where the Holy Family sheltered after their flight into Egypt; it suffers badly from water damage (as indeed does all of Old Cairo, although steps are being taken by the Egyptian Government to drain groundwater from the area). This ancient Church was the seat of the Coptic Patriarch from the ninthcentury, but it has undergone some restoration.

destinations in egypt cairo : roman cairo : misir al-qadima Cairo: History Roman Cairo Misr al-Qadima Today, the area known as Misr al-Qadima (Old Cairo) is dominated by the Fortress of Babylon, the only visible trace of Roman occupation on this site. It was constructed by Trajan around 98 AD (the ancient geographer Strabo, who visited Egypt 130 years before the rule of Trajan, describes an older fortification near this site that has been linked with the Persian conquest of 525 BC). Over the centuries since the erection of the Roman fort, the course of the river has shifted westwards from its original position in front of the west wall of the fort. (Trajan also cleared the bed of an earlier canal from the Nile to the Red Sea, known as the Amnis Trajanas , which joined the river just north of Babylon.) Excavations at the spectacular south gate (also called the Iron gate) have revealed remains of a quay.

Table of Contents A note from the translator My motivation When I discovered that my father's father, David Suchowczycki, (pronounced Sukhovtshitsky) was born in Horodetz I needed to find out as much as possible about his shtetl. I searched the Horodetz Yizkor Book in the Yad Vashem library for my family name. Alas, there is no mention of my family. However, in the expectation that others, who do not have the access that I do to the Yizkor Book library nor have familiarity with Yiddish, would benefit from an English version of the book, I have decided to translate as much as I can as an offering to the community of Jewish genealogists and as a way to keep the memory of those mentioned in the Yizkor Book alive for future generations. Translation guidelines The reader should be aware of the guidelines I have used in translating and transliterating portions of the Horodetz Yizkor Book. Translations For Yiddish words which were not known to me, I used the dictionary, "MODERN YIDDISH – ENGLISH DICTIONARY", by Uriel Weinreich, published in 1977. This is the classic dictionary most used by Yiddish – English translators. Transliterations Names are very significant to genealogical researchers. And especially so to Jewish researchers who are searching for ancestors who may have changed their names sometime in the past. In this Yizkor Book are names of some of the Jews who lived in Horodetz. My problem is twofold. One, how to render into English those sounds common to Yiddish which are foreign to English. And, two, how to reproduce the actual name.

Table of Contents Chapter III Personalities Yudel Der Schreiber Yudel der Shreiber was one of the earliest educators in Antopol. As was the custom in those days, the "shreibers" were both official and private writers in the community where people were literate, but mostly in the Holy Scriptures and the Prayer Book. Reb Yudel excelled in the knowledge of the "small letters", both in Hebrew and in Russian. He also gave private lessons to young and adult students. His father, Reb Shmuel Friedman had been the head of the Jewish community, as well as a known wealthy landowner. His son Yosl married and moved to Bialistok and used to visit his parents on holidays. Yosl's son, Benjamin, moved with his family to Israel in 1924. He passed away in 1943. Reb Yudel's daughters, Rivka and Masha, born to him and his wife Meite, left the town and emigrated to the U.S. about 1910. Masha married the late Dr. Phoebus Berman, the son of Rabbi Moshe Berman who had been Rabbi of Antopol. Rivka married the late Dr. Isaac Burstein. She visited Israel in 1960. Her son, Dr. Herschel H. Burston and his wife visited Israel last year, and took great interest in the projects and accomplishments of the local Antopol organization, such as the synagogue, the Izkor Book etc. Dr. Burston has been very active in financing the publication of the memorial book, and together with the late Dr. Berman they also outlined the contents of the English part, in order to leave for later generations of American Jews the story of Antopol in English.

TM Traveling Egypt, 2002 By Mary Ashcraft and Rod Lopez-Fabrega Cairo Today, Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is the logical place to begin the journey back in time. It is a city with two faces. One very noticeable face is of a modern, sophisticated city with a cluster of easily identified luxury hotels and shops with logos of well-known designers. On the sands of the Giza Plateau, the majestic Sphinx gazes across the road into the eyes of KFC’s Colonel Sanders, and car traffic would strike fear into the heart of the fearless. In the evening, the heat of the day disappears with the cooling breezes from the desert and Cairenes take to the streets to enjoy their city. Families stroll together while pop music, eastern and western, ring out from a distance. Restaurant boats outlined with neon lights ply the Nile and smaller Feluccas , the traditional sailboat of the Nile, are filled with revelers singing and dancing to the loudest decibel possible until the wee hours. Discos normally open around 2:00 a.m., and it might be fair to say that some people never sleep. Very much a part of old Cairo are the Alabaster Mosque at the Citadel, the Coptic Hanging Church, Coptic Museum and Ben Ezra Synagogue. Since the end of the twelfth century, the Citadel was the seat of all the rulers of Egypt. The religious fortress, situated on a dominant hilltop overlooking all of Cairo, was built in 1176 by famed Salah al-Din Yussuf Ibn Ayyub, Muslim sultan of Egypt, Syria, Yemen and Palestine, and better known to European Crusaders as their fierce foe, Saladin. Resonating with today’s political climate, it is interesting to note that, as the Britannica buts it, “Salah al-Din’s every act was inspired by an intense and unwavering devotion to the idea of

Jewish Culture in the Christians Kingdoms. Jewish culture in the 10th through 12th centuries ran parallel to Christian culture. There was a level of social stability during this time, and marriage was the base of the Jewish family; religious rites and traditional customs could be practiced freely. The birth of a boy is always an important event in a Jewish family. But circumcision constituted one of the major contradictions of "convivencia" (co-existence), for, while Christians celebrate the cicumcision of Christ, they condemnded this ritual in Judaism, as religious disobedience. For the Spanish Jews, the synagogue continued to be the centre of the community. The rabbis' moral authority guided the people, while Torah precepts relating to kosher food meant that various laws prevented Jews and Christians from eating together. Family life revolved around the women of the household. In families of modest means they worked and took care of the home and children, while among the elite they could emulate the Christian noblewomen. The great Jewish families lived at court and constituted the leaderhsip of the aljamas Many other Jews were remarkable in the field of science, for example Rabbi Azag, who organized the irrigation system of Tudela, Abraham Annasi, disseminator of Arabic and Hebrew science in Europe, Abraham Zacuto, author of the "Perpetual Almanach", and the Mallorcan scientists Yehudah and Abraham Cresques, author of the first "Catalan Atlas".

Although the aim of this, our work, is to give a history of the Talmud alone, not of the whole Jewish literature of that period (to which is devoted a work by Dr. Karpeles and others), we can not, however, skip over the writers of Spain and France of that time, who extended the literature according to the fundamental principles of the Talmud, and shine in history, the admiration of succeeding generations. We will not, however, speak at length of their work or examine it minutely, but merely mention the names; only those whose main work was elevated to Talmudic subjects we except from this rule of brevity, and shall speak about their work as far as is necessary for the purpose of this work. p. 44 for he composed seven books about grammar in Arabic and Hebrew which are preserved to the present time. He was succeeded by the lofty poet Solomon b. Gabirol, 1012-1070. (We need not here dwell on his biography and work, as Messrs. Senor Sachs and Salomon Munk wrote whole books about him.) In his time, Jekuthiel Ebn Hassau, who was high in the court of King Jahia Ibu Mundhir at Saragossa, was also a patron of all Jewish learning, especially of ben Gabirol. The latter's poem, "Kether Malchuth" (Crown of Royalty), was very favorably received by all who bore the banners of the Talmudic and Kabbaldic studies, and also by Christian priests, so that it was translated into Latin by the priest Dominicus Gondizallo (1150) and also into Hebrew by him, with the assistance of Johannis Abudalu (an apostate Jew). The fact that his name "Ebn Gabirol" was altered to Abizatrol or Abizabran has been illuminated by Salomon Munk.
