After The Flood
Ever wonder what happened when Noah and his family exited the Ark after the Flood?
Wisdom From Pirke Avot
Simon the Just…used to say,
“Upon three things the world stands:
On Torah, on (Divine) Service, and on Deeds of Lovingkindness.”
Pirke Avot 1:2
Ben Zoma said,
“Who is wise? The one who learns from all people…
“Who is mighty? The one who subdues the evil inclination…
“Who is rich? The one who rejoices in his portion….
“Who is honored? The one who honors other human beings….”
Pirke Avot 4:1
The Most Important Part of Studying Torah
The most important element in validating interpretations of the written and oral Torah is the concept of Mesorah. Mesorah is the greatest proof to the authenticity of any concept, practice, or interpretation.
Although the seven Noahide laws have their origins in Adam and Noah, God chose to transmit and preserve them via Moses and the giving of the Torah at Sinai. This placed the Seven Mitzvos within the structure and system of Torah study and learning. Therefore, the seven Noahide laws must be interpreted and understood within the context of the Torah.
This point cannot be stressed enough: Jewish, and therefore Noahide, study and interpretation of the Torah is unique and unlike the study of any other religious texts.
The Truth About the Ger
Don't ever be afraid of seeking truth or speaking the truth, as it says in
Proverbs 12:19...
Truthful lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment
Are Noahides Allowed to Pray?
For Noahides, prayer is considered a mitzvah when performed in response to personal needs or circumstances. If one experiences challenges for which he does not pray, his lack of response is tantamount to a denial of God as the sovereign ruler of all things and all events. When one does pray in such circumstances, it demonstrates reliance and belief in the Creator.
When a Noahide prays to give thanks or praise absent a personal need, he still receives reward for such prayer even though it is not of the same nature as prayer prompted by personal needs.
As with all personal prayers, there are no fixed texts for Noahide prayer. Since all Noahide prayer is essentially personal prayer, it is ideally expressed using sincere words from the heart.
Tools For Noahide Torah Study
The journey of Noahide Torah study is endless in depth and has no destination. You will realize this when your very essence proclaims, "the more I learn, the less I know"! Before you make this proclamation remember that it is a mitzvot for a Noahide to study the Noahide Laws and apply them in every aspect of their life. After you make that proclamation you will realize and appreciate why it is a mitzvot for a Noahide to study the Noahide Laws and apply them. The study of Torah is what gives us our awe of the Creator. The more we study the more awe we gain.

Exploring the Al Chet Prayer
Rabbi Shraga Simmons
20. For the mistakes we committed before You against those who know, and those that do not know.
Ask yourself:
- Have I wronged people behind their backs?
- Have I wronged people to their faces?
Al Chet # 20
Roots of Mistakes
by George Brock
The Sin: The Mistakes we committed before You against those who know and against those that do not know.
- Have I wronged anyone behind their back?
- Have I wronged anyone to their face?
The Battle: Is between- World changers, those who with the help of G-d, practice T'shuvah to make the world 'a better place' {vs} Those who make excuses.
The Cause:
- 'Needless hatred'- which is equal to all 3 of the cardinal sins.
- It is the opposite of 'Emuna' and the cause of the destruction of the second Temple and why the Jews are still in exile today.
The Victory:
The Victory comes when- One realizes that in every 'moment' one has a choice regarding his attitude.
It's not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled (or) how the doer of deeds could have done the deeds better.
It's the Man of 'truth'- who exercises his emotions with Emuna and vocally tells himself that 'Everything is from Hashem, Everything is for my ultimate good and Everything is for a purpose. Whatever happens to us is the result of Hashem's compassion, mercy and love for us.
Goal:
- In time, by training ourselves in Emuna, to let our intellect become subservient to our Emuna. This enables us to overcome the mistakes we committed before You against 'those who know' and 'those who do not know'.
