WB Shlomo gave a detailed lecture on the Chamber of Reflection throughout the years in Freemasonry around the world, in Israel and in Mount Carmel Lodge in particular.
After the lecture a long and healthy discussion developed where the brethren added their experiences form other lodges as there is no unified and accepted use of the chamber in the same manner though there are certain concepts that are used in most lodges.
