Freemasonry is among the oldest fraternal traditions in the world: a school of moral philosophy, taught through ritual, symbol, and the slow companionship of men engaged in a common work.
Alpine Tilden Tenakill carries that work forward in Tenafly. Founded in [year — to be filled], the lodge is held under the Grand Lodge of New Jersey and meets in stated communications throughout the year.
The doors are old. The work continues.
We meet upon the level. Differences of station and circumstance dissolve at the door of the lodge, where every man is met as a brother and judged by his character alone.
Charity is the practical expression of fraternity. We extend support — quietly, and often without name — to brethren in need, to their families, and to the wider community.
Truth is the foundation of every virtue. We seek it patiently — in study, in conduct, and in the long, difficult work of self-knowledge.
There are no strangers in Freemasonry — only friends you have yet to meet.
Freemasonry is not an invitation-only society. Membership begins with an act of will: a man, of his own free accord, asks to be considered. He is not recruited — he chooses.
The lodge does not ask what you do for a living, what you believe about politics, or where you stand in the world. It asks instead what kind of man you are, and what kind of man you wish to become.
If that question moves you, write to the Secretary. He will reply.
