Noahides, who are they?

Photo: Jerusalem, Jewish quarter.

Noahides are righteous gentiles who believe in HaShem and follow the 7 Noahide Laws. We are all descendants of Noah, so in fact we all can be Noahides.

(After the Great Flood, Noah and his family repopulated the world.) 

But there can be a difference. Noahides live a righteous and religious lifestyle. They believe in G-d. 

The G-d who created Heaven and earth. Their teachers are Jewish Orthodox rabbinim. From them they learn to live the right way. 

They live a modest livestyle. Modesty in speech, behavior and dress is important. A woman looks like a woman and a man looks like a man. No women in menswear or vice versa. 

They live according to Noah's 7 Laws. More on that later. It seems not much to have a guideline of only 7 cathegories, but don't be mistaken. These Laws are 7 cathegories and can be divided into many more laws. 

The most important books are: the Divine Code by Rabbi Weiner,  and the Tenach. You can order the Divine Code on the AskNoah website. on the photo: the third edition, but there is now a fourth edition which recommended to buy and use.There is also a small prayer booklet for daily prayers. Very handy for in your handbag to take it with you. It includes prayers for meals, morning prayers and evening prayers and more.

Noahide Life

 

Photo: Hebron, Hamachpela. 

The cave of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs: Avraham, Isaac and Jacob. Sarah, Rivkah, and Leah. And Adam and Chava. A special place for Noahides to visit. 

With Avraham, the monotheistic faith started again. After the people in his time went astray and made their own faiths and beliefs, Avraham was the one who walked with G'd. So did Noah in his time.

Noahides believe in G'd. And we live according to the Seven Noahide Laws. These Laws were given by G'd. The first Laws were given by G'd to Adam and Chava, and the last one as an addition to Noah.

It is very clear, the way of the Noahide path. In this, sometimes, confusing world it is great to see that there is still a clear and conservative way to live our lives.

I am a Noahide and live in the western world. And experience this world as the world upside down. My heart is in Israel, the promised land. Whenever possible, I like to get on a plane and visit this beautiful country again .....

Maybe Avraham walked on this path in Tel Hebron. (Excavations Tel Hebron)
