I'm
not going to waste my time perpetuating politically correct nonsense
about how its OK for gentiles to worship how they see fit. Such pluralistic notions are antithetical to Jewish law. Idolatry
is prohibited to Jew and gentile alike. (Nor is Islam or x-anity an
acceptable avenue for gentiles, who are required to accept
the sovereignty of The One True G-d within the framework of the 7 Laws
of Noah.) While Judaism respects the human condition which
often necessitates a long and arduous spiritual search, ultimately every
gentile is required to follow the 7 Laws of Noah, which is
an intensive and disciplined way of living and not a religion (which is
prohibited to the gentile). Such is the price for the righteous gentile
who wishes to draw near to the knowledge of The Almighty.
Consequently, a Noahide must have a qualified orthodox Rabbi to consult with and learn from. A
proper man of G-d will welcome such an individual, and in the event
that he doesn't feel qualified to assist the person himself, will surely
find someone to help him/her. The 7 Laws represent seven broad categories.
Here is a classic essay about the challenges of becoming and being a Bnai Noach, written by Rabbi Yisroel Chait, shlitah, of Yeshivah B'nai Torah. May The Almighty bless the men and women of the world who search for truth.
My unabashed, unapologetic reflections on Judaism's authentic approach to the physical and spiritual dangers facing the Jewish people today, both in the modern state of Israel and in the diaspora.
