At <strong>the</strong> time of <strong>the</strong> 1848 revolution, we find that Berthold<br />

Auerbach, Abraham Geiger's revolutionary friend, belonged.<br />

So did <strong>the</strong> Reform phony rabbi G. Salomon of <strong>the</strong> Hamburg<br />

Temple, as well as Jacob Dernburg, <strong>the</strong> jurist, a close friend of<br />

Abraham Geiger. 201<br />

Justus Hiller was appointed ora<strong>to</strong>r of <strong>the</strong> Lodge. At its<br />

founding, his antinomian leanings were evident in his address,<br />

where he alluded <strong>to</strong> Frankist teachings. 202 He was a delegate<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> French Sanhedrin, along with a Westphalian banker,<br />

Israel Jacobson (1768-1828), whom Abraham Geiger<br />

mentioned when he eulogized James Rothschild on November<br />

29, 1868, as follows:<br />

"...A short time ago we marked <strong>the</strong> 100th anniversary of <strong>the</strong><br />

"This will be a new radiance <strong>to</strong> illumine <strong>the</strong> bright escutcheon<br />

of that house and <strong>to</strong> give an everlasting memorial <strong>to</strong> its<br />

In o<strong>the</strong>r words, Geiger was telling <strong>the</strong>se people that by<br />

emulating Israel Jacobson, <strong>the</strong>y would be good llluminati.<br />

Indeed, Jacobson had been referred <strong>to</strong> as "Jacobin, son of<br />

Israel," 205 and Jacobson had served <strong>the</strong> llluminatus Duke of<br />

Brunswick, sponsor of <strong>the</strong> Frankist Asiatic Brethren as his<br />

financial agent, as well as Napoleon (as his Westphalian<br />

banker). 206 Actually, Jacobson may be regarded as <strong>the</strong> first<br />
