Daily Dose: 6
Jan. 20'10 / 20 Tevet 5770, anniversary of the passing of Maimonides
("Rambam") in 1204 C.E.: "The foundation of all foundations and the
pillar of wisdom is to know that there is a Primary Being who brought
into being all existence. All that exists in the heavens, the earth,
and what is between came into existence only from the truth of
His
being." (Rambam, Mishneh Torah, Laws of the Foundations of the Torah
1:1)

The Noahide Code of 7 Divine Commandments
was given to Noah and his
children after the
flood. These commandments would assure Noah and his children, the
forebears of
the new human race, that humanity would not degenerate into a jungle
again. The laws prohibit (1) idolatry, (2) blasphemy, (3) homicide, (4) forbidden relations, (5) robbery, and (6) eating meat that was taken from a still-living
animal (cruelty to animals), and require (7) establishment
of courts of justice. The precepts included in these commandments
provide the guidelines for truly moral behavior, as the Divine
Code that is the foundation of all true morality.
Welcome to our web site and our organization!
This is a web site where
we can join together
to learn about these commandments in the light of Torah, with insights
on the nature of creation, and our
important roles as individuals and members of wider communities. When
we fulfill our potential within the context of this Divine covenant,
the creation is elevated to realize its intended goal. This makes the
world into a beautiful gem - a place where G-d can (and will) dwell!
Watch our Site Map page for
new web pages, and audio and video
clips that give a deeper understanding of the Noahide way of life.
