> the contemporary grande loge francaise de misraim states that it is almost certain that the bedarride brothers, being jewish themselves, were also attracted to these jewish lodges. the french military lodges in the occupied territories of italy are said to have attracted a lot of italian jews. one such lodge was les amis de lunion parfaite, founded by officers of the french garrison at livorno. many jews were members of this lodge. it is possible that the bedarrides used to frequent this italian jewish kabbalistic circle and found there an excellent source on which they based their vision towards certain mystic higher degrees  > it is also interesting to note that ragon once referred to the rite of misraim of the bedarrides as the judaic rite (the bedarrides were jewish and the rite had a strong jewish membership). in this degree, which one can call the final masonic degree of the rite of misraim, a comprehensive explanation is given on the relationship between men and the divinity, through the medium of the celestial spirits. this degree, the most astonishing of all degrees, requires a spirit of great strength, the greatest purity of manners and an absolute faith ... the password is uriel, name of one of the heads of the celestial legions... (89th degree of the rite of misraim)
