It has followed consistently the preamble to its constitution which says: Bnai Brith has taken upon itself the mission of uniting persons of the Jewish faith in the work of promoting their highest interest and those of humanity. of developing and elevating the mental and moral character of the people of our faith. of inculcating the purest principles of philanthropy. honor. and patriotism. of supporting science and art. alleviating the wants of the poor and needy. visiting and caring for the sick. going to the rescue of victims of persecution. providing for. protecting and assisting the aging. the widow. and the orphan on the broadest principles of humanity. The Horeb Lodge is a service organization that is part of Bnai Brith. Originally founded by Jewish immigrants from Germany. it was later joined by the Eastern European Jews. Their services to their community were originally philanthropic and fraternal with death benefits. sick benefits. and others. They were needed badly by the immigrants of the time. and served a worthwhile purpose. As Bnai Brith grew nationally and expanded its basic operations. so the Horeb Lodge grew. expanded. and also changed. Their basic objectives. however. remained the same.
