6. Noahide Halacha (Laws)

Rabbi Chaim Richmond is one of the leading authorities on the Noahide Laws and has received thousands of halachic questions from Noahides over the years. In this teaching he answers a great many of the most often asked questions. Questions like what can a Noahides study, how many mitzvot are Noahides allowed to keep, can Noahides keep Shabbat, can Noahides study Torah and many more.

He also reminds us that we are personally responsible for whatever we do and do not do, and will be judged by the heavenly court accordingly.

HaShem and his Torah govern every aspect of our lives through commandments but is very compassionate in that governing. This lecture may be the most valuable of the entire conference. You will want to listen to it many times to ensure that you are getting all the important information.

7. Raising Our Kids In Torah With NOAH

Over the centuries the Jewish people have always made the Torah education of their people a priority, this education begins at a very early age in childhood. As Noahides we must follow the examples of the Jewish people by providing Torah education to our children at an early age. With the present state of our educational system the teaching of Torah to children does not exist. In fact, there are organizations whose sole purpose in life is to remove God completely from society. N.O.A.H was created in response to this issue by providing Torah learning opportunities for children and parents alike.  Christine and Elisa give us an excellent in-depth overview of what N.O.A.H has to offer for the next generation of Noahides. If we ever hope to bring about a better world we must begin teaching our Noahide children at an early age and we must begin NOW.

4. Searching for New Meaning
