Guide for the Noahide
-- 2nd EDITION
A Complete Manual for Living by the
Noahide Laws
"According to sacred Torah tradition, painstakingly preserved over millennia, the Noahide Laws are the terms of HaShem's covenant with Noah after the Flood. Sadly, they were
abandoned and largely forgotten. Then nearly 800 years later, another global cataclysmic event shook the world: the frightening and awesome events coinciding with the Exodus and
Giving of the Torah at Sinai. Since that second rebirth of the world, the nations of the world have been obligated to these laws through the Torah of Moses. After all, it is only
through the Torah that mankind even knows the true historical account of the Deluge and HaShem's Covenant with Noah."
--from the book
The simplicity of this Covenant is striking. It requires no
religious ceremonies, no sacrificial service, no priestly
hierarchy. It upholds equality between men and women, all
races and all colors.
It is the most basic code of human behavior that allows for a
world united under the One and Only King of the Universe.
According to Torah, it is forbidden for non-Jews to create
man-made religions. Why add to the simple perfection of
HaShem's covenant? The world of the spirit is as wide to the
righteous Noahide as it is to the righteous Jew. One must bear
in mind that the very foundation of any relationship with the
True God is knowing and fulfilling all the precepts that He
has commanded us as Jews and Noahides. Piety cannot replace,
and indeed cannot be reached, without this solid foundation.
Hailed
by
rabbis
and Noahide scholars alike, this Guide -- meant
for both Noahides and Jews -- presents the Laws of the Noahide Covenant as never before: precisely
as they were codified in Talmudic law according to the Mishneh
Torah of Maimonides (RaMBaM).
What's New in the Second Edition:
There are many basic, essential questions that Noahides have
regarding the everyday challenges they face. As much as
they may be willing, few rabbis are adequately trained to
help. While the First Edition was enjoyed primarily by
experienced Torah scholars, it left those practical
questions unanswered.
For this edition – with the input and help of Noahide
scholars – the author created Part IV, a list with 21 of the
most common, burning questions Noahides have, with carefully
researched answers to each one: How to interact with
non-Noahide family and friends in difficult situations, what
meat is kosher, how to pray, how to defend the Torah against
Christian, Moslem and anti-Israel haters, and much more.
It tackles the hard questions about how the Noahide
community can best grow, and how it should prepare for
increasingly difficult times ahead for Israel and the world.
