My Beliefs: I am a Ben Noach (son of Noah. 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
1. Awareness of God
a. The belief in the One True non-corporeal God
2. Prohibition of blasphemy
a. The obligation to respect God's Name, to revere and fear God .
b. Prohibition of cursing any of God's Names
3. Prohibition of murder and injury
4. Prohibition of forbidden sexual relations
5. Prohibition of theft
6. Prohibition of eating meat that was separated from a living animal.
7. Establishment of laws and courts.

Ashrei - Praiseworthy Psalm 145 Many of my readers know that I spent 6 + years studying and preparing for Orthodox Jewish Conversion.

My God, The King Pt.2
The section of the Jewish prayer book that this series of blogs will be examining is, Pesukei D’Zimrah. “Pesukei D’Zimrah is translated as ‘Verses of Praise’. However, many commentators relate ‘zimrah’ to the verb ‘tizmor’ - ‘prune’ (Leviticus 25:4). In this view we recite ‘Verses of Pruning’, which are designed ‘to cut away’ the mental …
