The Feast of Tishri is celebrated in many Valleys of the Scottish Rite and commemorates the dedication of King Solomon’s Temple. It also commemorates the period after the exodus from Egypt during which the Jews wandered in the wilderness and lived in huts. It relates to the general celebration of Thanksgiving. The Feast of Tishri is an essential part of the Fourteenth Degree and alludes to the symbolic details of the Temple’s position, design, construction, furnishing, and decoration as the metaphorical temple of Freemasonry built in the heart of every brother. We learn to recommit ourselves to building Freemasonry “in the hearts of men and among nations.” The consecration of the Temple teaches the equality and unity of all members of the Rite. In the Feast of Tishri, all Perfect Elus and those of higher Degrees can join at the banquet table and share the bond of fraternal unity. The law, legendry, peace, quality,
unity, and fellowship of the Feast of Tishri combine to make this the Masonic feast of feasts.

The KCCH Club invites all our Scottish Rite Brethren to join us in celebrating our Feast of Tishri. A hardy family-style repast will be served and a few traditional toasts offered. The keynote speaker will be Illustrious James D. Cole, 33°, Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, 33°, A. & A.S.R., Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A.
