Newman, where do you find the expansion of the Noah laws to 88?

SanDiegoShana:
haha

I am not in a panic, just wondering what book the 88 laws are in.  I bless Israel, so I am blessed!

Its not exactly 88 laws, but the original 7 are very general the 88 are really just the specifics of each law

7 noachide commandments become 88. Interesting to note that 88 is approximately 1/7 of 613.

Wow... very interesting! I wonder if there's any commentary on that? Interesting find, newman. Amazing.

SanDiegoShana:
Newman, my old office-mate/co-counsel used to tell me I knew more about Judaism than did half the people in his Synagogue.   ;D
I can even sing the Shema.
