I cannot believe you ignored Rabbi Weiner's ruling. Wow Chaim.
Rabbi Weiner explains his reward in the context of Laws of Kings 10:10 refers to the practical benefit he receives. He cites Radvaz Hilhot Melahim ch.10 in support of his explanation.
Oury Cherki? The heretic who was exposed publicly by Rabbi Dr. Michael Schulman? You prefer him to Rabbi Weiner's encyclopedic explanation of Noahide law?
I am deeply disappointed Chaim. Deeply disappointed.

What?! HaRav Uri Sherki is a "heretic"? Show me who had the chutzpah (gall) to make such a statement. HaRav Sherki is universally respected as a major Torah scholar in Israel (even though, as a Kahanist, I disagree with his political views). And HaRav Sherki's views reflect those of HaRav Avraham Yitzchak Kook, one of the greatest Torah scholars in modern history and the leading spiritual figure in the religious nationalist community.
I am certain that Rabbi Weiner would be embarrassed if he saw how one of his Noachide followers is showing such brazen disrespect for a major Torah scholar. If you notice, despite my disagreement with Rabbi Weiner's conclusion and his obvious misinterpretation of HaRambam, I never disrespected him as a rabbi. I am sure that your public slandering of a Torah scholar is something Rabbi Weiner would never approve of.
Rabbi Weiner is from the Lubavitch Chabad movement which disagrees with almost all Torah scholars on many halachic issues. For instance, Chabad considered the Lubavitcher rebbe to be the Mashiach (Messiah) even after he passed away decades ago. They literally worship the Rebbe. Ask Rabbi Weiner the following questions: Did the Rebbe ever make a mistake in his entire life? Did the Rebbe ever sin? Was the Rebbe always right on every issue?
The Rebbe said that Jews are allowed to live outside of Israel and he did not forbid Jews from leaving Israel. But the Rebbe forbid Jews from leaving Crown Heights, a neighborhood in Brooklyn that is 90% black. The Rebbe turned Crown Heights into a sacred area. The Rebbe also forbid Jews from leaving South Africa, which is a murderous, black Jew-hating country. But Israel the Jews could leave according to the Rebbe.
The Rebbe was against any public protests on behalf of Soviet Jewry, which have doomed 2 million Russian Jews to spiritual destruction.
Also ask Rabbi Weiner if he disagrees with anything that the Rebbe said or did. Rabbi Weiner does not, because in Chabad the Rebbe is considered to be absolutely perfect. The Rebbe, according to Chabad, does not have free will because he is above all human beings and is incapable of sin or error. This view goes against all Torah teachings.
