Refer to a related item in this catalog for more information regarding the Freemasons.
Shmuel HaShimshony (1879-1939) was born in Romania. His father was Dov Samsonoff, a Romanian maskil. In 1896, he immigrated to Palestine and helped found the first Jewish commune. He moved to Egypt for health reasons, was active among the Cairo Jewish community, and founded the first Zionist weekly periodical in French, La Renusance Juive. He was the president of the Egyptian Bnei Brith society and then secretary of the large Bnei Brith lodge in Jerusalem. He was shot and killed on his way to work in Haifa. These documents prove that he was a founder of the Freemasons in Israel.
