Franklin D Roosevelt Freemason Ties

Franklin D. Roosevelt Freemason ties refer to the connections and affiliations between the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the fraternal organization known as Freemasonry. Roosevelt was initiated into Freemasonry in 1911, during his time as a state senator in New York. He was a member of Holland Lodge No. 8 in New York City and eventually rose to the degree of Master Mason. Throughout his political career, Roosevelt's Masonic ties were well-known, and he often attended Masonic events and ceremonies. His involvement in Freemasonry is believed to have influenced his political philosophy and leadership style, emphasizing values such as brotherhood, charity, and service to others. In Hebrew, Freemasonry is known as המשתמעים (HaMashte'im), and in French, it is referred to as la franc-maçonnerie. Roosevelt's Masonic ties were not a central focus of his presidency, but they were a notable aspect of his personal and political life.
