  The road to enlightenment in the ways of HaShem is one that provides both mental and spiritual growth. The journey of learning the ways of HaShem is one that is endless but the rewards are endless as well. Faith is not something that is bestowed or just happens and yet it is absolutely necessary in order to have a true spiritual relationship with HaShem.
  
  Study is what makes us strong in our faith. A student will always have more faith than a believer. Believers simply hear and then accept what they hear. But a student hears the wisdom of the teaching, then proves and gains understanding which then becomes knowledge. Once we have gained the knowledge it is ours for all time and through an act of our will becomes who we are. This is how the study of Torah changes people and their lives.
  
  The classes offered by Noahide Nations are designed to bring knowledge of HaShem to all who participate in the study of the particular subject matter being presented by the instructors. If one is diligent in their study and participation the bi-product, that is inevitable, is a deeper relationship between you and HaShem as well as your relationship with Mankind.
  
  The instructors for Noahide Nations are Rabbis, knowledgeable Noahide Leaders who have studied with Rabbis, as well as other members of B’nei Israel and B’nei Noah who are very learned in their particular field of expertise. We are continuing our search for qualified instructors so that we can bring additional learning opportunities to the Noahide Nations community.

  Noahide Nations is fully committed to keeping the Academy of Shem up and running at all times.  However, there are administrative costs, virtual server costs and more importantly for our instructors who share their time, wisdom, knowledge and expertise with our students.  With the help of your charity you will be supporting this commitment.

  May you all be blessed,
