Noahidism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from B'nei Noah)
Jump to: navigation, search

Noahidism is a modern monotheistic ideology which observes the Seven Laws of Noah. According to Jewish law, non-Jews are not obligated to convert to Judaism, but they are required to observe the Seven Laws of Noah. Those who subscribe to the observance of such laws and their supporting organizations are referred to as B'nei Noah (Hebrew: בני נו&#1495, Children of Noah or Noahides.

Technically, the Hebrew term B'nei Noah applies to all non-Jews as descendants of Noah. However, nowadays it is also used to refer specifically to those non-Jews who observe the Noahide Laws.

[edit] Theological background

According to the Hebrew Bible, all humanity are descendants of Noah. Noah and his three children Shem, Ham, and Japheth survived the Flood aboard the Ark, along with their wives. Once the survivors were able to leave the ark for dry ground, they began to start new families and repopulate the earth. When Noah's family left the Ark, God made a covenant with them. According to the Talmud, this covenant included the Seven Laws of Noah. Thus, to the B'nei Noah, all living humans, as descendants of Noah, are subject to the Noahide laws—although Jews as the people chosen to bear the light of Torah before humanity, have further responsibilities placed on them.

Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon, also known as "the Rambam") collected all of the talmudic and halakhic decisions in his time, and laid them out clearly in his work the Mishnah Torah; in addition to Jewish laws and their explanations, Noachide Laws were also collected with their explanation in Maimonides' Sefer Shoftim ("Book of Judges") in the last book Hilchot Melachim U’Milchamot ("The Laws of Kings and Wars"), portions of which are available in English online[1].

[edit] The Seven Laws of Noah
Main article: Seven Laws of Noah


The seven laws listed by the Talmud are[2]:

1. Requirement to have just Laws: To set up an effective government to police the other six laws.
2. Prohibition of Blasphemy: Not to curse God's name, and not to put faith in magical arts or omens.
3. Prohibition of Idolatry: Not to manufacture or worship idols.
4. Prohibition of Sexual Immorality: Not to commit adultery, practice bestiality, incest or male-male anal sex.
5. Prohibition of Murder: Not to take human life.
6. Prohibition of Theft: Not to steal or otherwise take another's possessions, and not to kidnap.
7. Prohibition of eating the limb of a living animal.

[edit] Modern movement

A modern movement known as the B'nei Noah or B'nei Noach has appeared in which members endeavour to follow the Noahide Laws.

Orthodox Judaism does not usually promote conversion to Judaism but does, on the other hand, believe that the Jewish people have a duty to help establish the Noahide Laws, based on Maimonides. Some Jewish groups have been particularly active in promoting the Seven Laws, notably the Chabad-Lubavitch movement (whose late leader, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, launched the global Noahide Campaign), groups affiliated with Dor Daim, and strict students of Maimonides.

Small groups calling themselves the B'nei Noah (children of Noah) have recently organised themselves to form communities to abide by these laws and lead their lives with morality. The High Council of B'nei Noah is particularly reflective of an apparent success at forming ties with Orthodox Judaism and Observant Noahides. There are several very different approaches within Judaism to B'nei Noah,[3] and in recent years tens of publications[4] and websites[5] have appeared.
