The Seven Noachide Commandments
Dec. 15th, 2008 07:19 amThere is so much to learn in the world.
I am looking at the Seven Noachide Commandments. I didn't know that one could be a Righteous Gentile. This concept is exciting to me, although I'm amused at myself for being excited. I would be delighted to more formally identity as an ally to Judaism. Here's what the Wikipedia entry says:
"According to Judaism any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is regarded as a Righteous Gentile and is assured of a place in the world to come (Olam Haba), the Jewish concept of heaven. Adherents are often called "B'nei Noah" (Children of Noah) or "Noahides" and may often network in Jewish synagogues."
When I read that, I was like WOO HOO!!
( Lots more on stuff polite people aren't supposed to talk about )
