Download or read book The Noahide Laws written by Yeshiva Pirchei Shoshanim and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Torah has an all-encompassing vision for mankind in which every person, Jew, and gentile, has a role to play. The Torah's ideal role for the non-Jew is that of the Noahide (in Hebrew, the Ben Noach, Child of Noah). This role is defined by a large body of halacha (law) called the Sheva Mitzvos Bnei Noach, the Seven Commandments of the Children of Noah. More and more non-Jews have turned to the ancient wisdom of the Torah and its sages for guidance as to what God expects from them. Unfortunately, there are virtually no authentic or complete resources for the rabbinic world as to how to provide for those non-Jews seeking answers, until now.
Download or read book Guide for the Noahide written by Michael Shelomo Bar-Ron and published by . This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. 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 non-Jews 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).
Download or read book The Theory and Practice of Universal Ethics written by Shimon Dovid Cowen and published by Institute for Judaism & Civilization, Incorporated. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Congress President in 1991 endorsed a set of seven universal ethical principles, known as the Noahide Laws, as the "bedrock of society since the dawn of civilization" and as values "upon which our great nation was founded." Associated with the name of Noah, with whom this moral code was completed, practised by Abraham and reiterated at Sinai, these principles constitute the root ethical code of humanity. At a time of great moral and social drift, when both individuals and legislators seek an objective and universal moral compass, these timeless laws have a special relevance and a unifying resonance over different cultures, societies and traditions.The first part of this book sets out the idea or theory of the Noahide laws - from spiritual, philosophical, psychological, social and political perspectives. Various of its contents have already been before leaders, including international statesmen (whose letters are included here), who have responded with encouragement for their study and dissemination.The second part of the book presents the concrete conduct or practice of the Noahide laws. This precise task proceeds from extensive research into the Tradition of commentary on the Revelation at Sinai, of which the Noahide laws (already previously the moral covenant of humanity, but which were authoritively restated at Sinai) form a part. The way the Noahide Laws in their detail structure the ethical conduct of the major domains of human existence is set out clearly for the general reader; and with extensive footnotes and references for those seeking further study.

Download or read book Jewish Christian Dialogue written by David Novak and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-04-02 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies written about the Jewish-Christian relationship are primarily historical overviews that focus on the Jewish background of Christianity, the separation of Christianity from Judaism, or the medieval disputations between the two faiths. This book is one of the first studies to examine the relationship from a philosophical and theological viewpoint. Carefully drawing on Jewish classical sources, Novak argues that there is actual justification for the new relationship between Judaism and Christianity from within Jewish religious tradition. He demonstrates that this new relationship is possible between religiously committed Jews and Christians without the two major impediments to dialogue: triumphalism and relativism. One of the very few books on this topic written by a Jewish theologian who speaks specifically to modern Christian concerns, it will provide the groundwork for a more serious development of Jewish-Christian dialogue in our day.

Sefer Ha?Madah is the first volume of his work Mishneh Torah, which is his monumental codification of the Oral Torah Law.

However, in a general manner, this book presents the proper views and behaviors for a righteous person of any nationality or culture.
Download or read book Seven Laws of Noah written by Yerachmiel Altman and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven Laws of Noah: G-d's plan for living a good life is a children's introduction to the laws of Noah. It begins with a simple analogy: if we see an empty field and a few weeks or months later we see streets, buildings, cars, houses we know there must have been a designer and an architect. We also know that there had to be engineers, builders, people who built the buildings, planted the trees, painted and prepared everything for living and business. In the same way we need to look at the world and realize there MUST be an overall designer who decided to create the universe and build each individual thing. The creator is G-d, who not only created everything but created each thing with love, though and design - including every person and every child. The book continues, laying out each law in simple terms and showing how following the law leads to a safe and just society. The book finishes with a description of what will happen when people accept G-d as both the one who created and sustains the world - and then choose to follow his laws for mankind. The book is written in simple to understand poetry, in the style, level and complexity of the young children it's written for.
