Quote:Is fishing permitted for Noahides? I'm talking about rod and reel fishing, with the hooks and everything. It says in The Divine Code that hunting purely for sport is forbidden.

Quote:What types of fishing are permitted. Can one catch and release?

Quote:So fishing with hooks is permitted, despite the risk of a hook snapping off and causing unnecessary harm to a fish?

• Prayers should be said only to the one true G-d.
  

• Prayer should be said audibly. At a minimum, the person himself should be able to hear the prayer he is saying / whispering. 
  

• There are some places in which a person should not pray. For example: not in a house of idol worship, or in a bathroom, or in a place with a bad smell, or where someone is unclothed, or in the presence of a filthy substance. If a person is in such a place and needs to pray on an emergency basis, and can't relocate to another place, he should pray in thought, without verbalizing his prayer.
  

Quote:The Rabbis say: In the future, the Holy One blessed be He will dispatch a herald and proclaim and say: 'Anyone who has never eaten pig meat, let him come and collect his reward.' Many of the nations of the world who never ate pig meat will come to collect their reward. At that moment, the Holy One blessed be He will say: 'Shall these be rewarded in two worlds? Is it not enough that they enjoyed this world, but they seek to enjoy the world of My children, too?' At that moment, the Holy One blessed be He will dispatch a herald a second time, and proclaim and say: 'Anyone who has not eaten the meat of animal carcasses [neveilah - not killed by kosher slaughter] and mauled animals [treifah - mortally wounded or contracted a fatal illness], repugnant creatures and creeping [creatures - for example, tiny worms or thrips that cling to or burrow into fruit and vegetables, which can be found only by very close inspection] - if he did not eat of his own, he ate another's.'

Quote:When it comes to the yahrzeit day of a Gentile loved-one, we have:
- the specific prayer for the person's soul, by Rabbi Immanuel Schochet that is published by Ask Noah,
- giving charity in honor of the person's yahrzeit,
- Psalms 47 and 139 which can be recited.

For the hilulah day of a Jewish tzaddik [very righteous person], can we do the same?

Quote:For a Gentile couple, if the husband is at work and his wife is at home and the husband will not be able to pray for the yahrzeit of a loved-one and / or a tzaddik:
If the wife is praying and/or putting aside money for charity in honor of the yahrzeit, is her husband absolved from doing those things?

Quote:And when the Gentile wife is giving the charity, will she have to put a coin for her husband and a coin for herself?

1. Commands that are logically obligatory on everyone to obey. (e.g., being kind, not murdering)
   
2. Commands that have no logical necessity for everyone. This category can be further subdivided:
   
   1. Commands that, although there is no general moral obligation to observe them, could nevertheless provide a practical benefit to a person or to society. (tithing, circumcision)
      
   2. Commands that do not provide a practical benefit. (wearing ritual fringes)
      

1. There are six "forbidden" relationships (one's mother, one's father's wife, another man's wife, another male, an animal, and one's maternal sister).
   
2. There is one relationship that is "universally accepted" as prohibited (one's daughter).
   
3. There is one relationship that is an "abomination to G-d" (female-female).
   

1. Are we to understand that, although all of the above relationships are bad, those of the first type (i.e. those that are "forbidden") are in some sense worse than the rest?
   
2. Or perhaps since type 3 is called an "abomination", that implies it is actually the worse type?
   
3. Maybe the distinction means relationships of type 2 and 3 could be appropriate under some very limited circumstances whereas those of type 1 are never appropriate?
   
4. The second type is described as being "universally accepted" as prohibited. I assume this means that at some point in the past, essentially all humankind agreed not to engage in that type of relationship. Is such a decision by people in the past morally binding on people alive now or is it just a "very strong recommendation" on the basis of human experience? If it is morally binding, why so (that is, how does a decision by people in the past bind us morally today)?
   
5. Why would a sin which is an abomination not also be categorized as "forbidden"? Or are all abominations implicitly forbidden?
   
6. Which would be "worse": committing a sin that is an abomination, but isn't forbidden (female-female relationship), or committing a forbidden sin that isn't capital (maternal sister relationship)?
