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
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.

The Essence of Being Noahide
As gentiles leave the religions of this world and return back to the One Creator of heaven and earth, religion has left a scar and religious baggage. Religious baggage does not go away overnight or sometimes even in years. It is one of our hardest struggles. Being a Noahide includes accepting the 7 Universal Laws, …
A New Day – A Fresh Start
This is a Thanksgiving blog. It was inspired by a friends post of a painting of Noah that seen at the top of the blog. I have a similar one but his gave me this current inspiration. When I first saw the picture, I was taking in by what it spoke to me. What I …
The 7 are not 1,2,3
The fact that the Noahide Laws do not appear in a list like the 10 Commandments has many new comers to the Noahide Laws and opponents of the laws confused. This is due the fact that most among the nations have not learned proper Hebrew study skills. A prime understanding is needed, the 10 …
The Exodus Affect
During an online meeting this week that I attended there were a few rabbis in the group. Rabbi Aryel Nachman Ben Chaim mentioned something that inspired this next blog, something I have been pondering all week long. In our discussion after the main class we were talking about some of the issues Noahides have to …

Paraphrasing from my last blog, “Noahide Expression of Faith” - the parts of the Creator’s attributes that we are created from, is …
