Questions about "The Divine Code"
#7
(Updated in 20'19)

Greetings Larry. Once you have your hands on "The Divine Code," 3rd Edition, by Rabbi Moshe Weiner of Jerusalem, you will see that the in-depth study of the Noahide Code and its philosophy is no longer lacking in the world. The printed book is now available directly from Asknoah.org at reduced cost, and also from Amazon.com and Kehotonline.com.

The e-book edition of "The Divine Code," 3rd Edition, is available from Amazon Kindle. Although the URL shows "Parts-I-IV", it is .actually Parts I-VIII:

To go deeper into the spiritual lessons for Gentiles within the Written and Oral Torah, we recommend another book by Rabbi Weiner, titled "Seven Gates of Righteous Knowledge," which is available in print and as an e-book, with the links and the Table of Contents shown on the following page:
