So what's your story, are you a noachide ?

Bat Noah · « **Reply #10 on:** May 23, 2012, 01:17:09 PM »

Zelhar,
Thank you for asking.
Yes, I am a noachide. As my story is a rather long journey to the truth of Torah, I will try to be as concise as possible.
I was born to parents reeling from 2nd generation intermarriage, assimilation (Jewish on father's side and Native on my mom's) and catholic overload. I tried to join the masses of main stream religion but could never understand or relate to it so it did not happen. I could relate to teachings by native elders and attended teaching lodges for 6 years until I moved a long distance for work and economic reasons. No members of these teaching lodges are here. This is 10 years ago now. By the Grace of Hashem, the Torah found me about 4 years ago and I took a Noahide pledge before a beit din last year.

A long time ago before there were many muslims in Canada, I was sold a bill of goods by muslims that were living in my neighbourhood. It took a few years before the veneer peeled off and the hatred and true agenda was revealed to me much to my disgust. These days there is little effort to put up a veneer such is the arrogance. Some immediate dangers like avalanches require inaction this danger is not one of them.

May the light of Torah dispel the darkness of our time.

Hey! What are the seven laws the message under your name refers to?

Bat Noah · « **Reply #17 on:** May 24, 2012, 11:57:57 PM »

The 7 laws are embedded in the Torah.

To provide a brief summary, I have copied the following text from Wikipedia and the link is below.

The seven laws listed by the Tosefta and the Talmud are[7]

Prohibition of Idolatry
Prohibition of Murder
Prohibition of Theft
Prohibition of Sexual immorality
Prohibition of Blasphemy
Prohibition of eating flesh taken from an animal while it is still alive
Establishment of courts of law
The Noachide Laws comprise the six laws which were given to Adam in the Garden of Eden, according to the Talmud's interpretation of Gen 2:16,[8] and a seventh one, which was added after the Flood of Noah. Later, at the Revelation at Sinai, the Seven Laws of Noah were re-given to humanity and embedded in the 613 Laws given to the Children of Israel along with the Ten Commandments, which are part of, and not separate from, the 613 mitzvot. These laws are derived from the Torah. According to religious Judaism, the 613 mitzvot or "commandments" given in the written Torah, as well as their reasonings in the oral Torah, were only issued to the Jews and are therefore binding only upon them, having inherited the obligation from their ancestors. At the same time, at Mount Sinai, the Children of Israel were given the obligation to teach other nations the embedded Noachide Laws.[citation needed] These laws also affect Jewish law in a number of ways.

Nice to gain another Noachide! I didn't know you could make a pledge at a beit din.

Was your pledge in a Beit Din related to Rabbi Richman and the new Sanhedrin's efforts to reach out to Noahides and establish a World Noahide Court? I know he has officiated at marriages of Noahide couples in places like Texas.
