My Beliefs: I am a Bnei Noach (Child of Noah. A Bnei Noach is one who keeps the seven laws given by the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob to the non-Jewish nations. The Laws were given from Adam through Noah. Bnei Noach/Noahide are modern terms for the non-Jewish followers of the G-d of Israel. There are a few ancient biblical names, in the Hebrew they are, Yiras Hashem (God Fearers), Ger/Gerim (this term appears many times in the biblical text, depending on the context it can mean a stranger or foreigner who keeps the Bnei Noach covenant.
The Seven Law

a. The belief in the One True non-corporeal God

The Source
This blog was inspired by Rabbi Lazer Brody’s Cd, Dollars and Sense. Even though the Cd is directed to a Jewish audience, I was instructed that non-Jews have to do some editing to apply Jewish resources to our lives. At this time there are not many resources out there for the righteous gentiles of the …
Lost & Found
On the heals of my last blog discussing virtues and values, I had a great sharing opportunity. A lady I know found a dime and asked me if it was mine. I told her no but I did have a charity box I could put it in. I then went on to tell her that …
