Listen "Getting Started on Observing the Noahide Code"
Episode Synopsis
This audio lesson gives advice on how a Gentile can get started with accepting his or her obligation from G-d. The starting place is observance of the Seven Noahide Commandments from the authentic Hebrew Bible (the "Tanach", which is known as the "Written Torah").The source verses for six of the Noahide Commandments are in the Book of Genesis, and one is in the Book of Exodus. Just as with the Jewish commandments, the source verses, and the details for how to observe them, are known and have been codified from the "Oral Torah" that Moses received from G-d on Mount Sinai. As it is taught in Chapter 1 of the Mishnah "Ethics of the Fathers":"Moses received the [Oral] Torah from Sinai and gave it over to Joshua. Joshua gave it over to the Elders, the Elders to the Prophets, and the Prophets gave it over to the Men of the Great Assembly" [the Sages of the Great Sanhedrin court].Ideally, Gentile's should read the Tanach from a reliable, Orthodox Jewish translation. For those who are on a limited budget, we recommend the pocket-size, paperback Stone Edition English Tanach from Artscroll publishers (caution: small print; there are also larger size editions).
