Brethren,

 

In this moving event, I stand before you with respect and love, thanking you for the great honor you bestowed on me, to act as the new Master of Reuven Lodge No. 1.
Mark Twain, who himself was a Freemason once said "It's better to be worthy of an honor and not to receive it, than to receive an honor you're not worthy of"

Standing here I promise to do everything personal, practical and social to be worthy of this honor.
Together, as one human tissue, we'll keep leading the Lodge forward and build here, every hour of every day a better world. Humbly and fraternally we'll keep contribute for mankind, and the community, and have the feeling of being better and whole humans.
Seven years ago I chose to join Freemasonry because of it's ways and concepts, after my initiation I decided to stay for those concepts, and change from a good man to a better one.
I wanted to feel that I mend the cracks, bring justice where there is evil' heal where there is sickness and straighten crooked ways.
In this Lodge I found, dozens of people who strive, like I do, for change and fix the society, and see in helping others and keeping social justice their main purpose.
The essence and value of the individual, as seen in our order, is being part of a large and meaningful group. This group is build of two layers Freemasonry and the community – or – whole humanity.
To me, the Master's office does not hold only more privileges but enlarges my duties as a Freemason, my duties to G-D, to others and to myself, and especially my duties for the Lodge.
Together, as strong supporting brethren, we'll keep navigating our old humble, ship and find the path to the truth, moral and justice, while overcoming every wave storm and blizzard and picking up on the way more high quality individuals who will want to join this magnificent voyage.
Before I finish I want to thank our wives and significant others on behalf of the brethren. We thank you dear ladies for your commitment to the order, for your daily strong support and wisdom of your advice.
I will end with a quote of Amos Oz: "A man has to do for others and never ignore; If he sees fire, he has to try put it out; if he doesn't have a bucket of water, he can use a glass; uf there is no glass, he can use a spoon, and if there is no spoon, a tea spoon…"
Good luck to all of us.
