Q & A
What are the seven laws of Noah that non-Jews are said to follow to gain a place in heaven according to the Jewish view?
-The seven laws of Noah, also known as the Noachide laws, are prohibitions against idol worship, blasphemy or cursing God, murder, acts of sexual immorality, stealing, and eating the flesh of a living animal. The seventh law is a positive commandment to establish courts of justice.
Why are these laws called the Noachide laws?
-These laws are called the Noachide laws because they originated with Noah, who was the survivor of the flood, and all of humanity is said to descend from him, thus all of humanity is supposed to follow the laws given to Noah by God.
What is the difference between the Noachide laws and the 613 Commandments given to the Jewish people?
-The Noachide laws are seven in number and are considered binding on all of humanity, whereas the 613 Commandments, which include 365 prohibitions and 248 positive commandments, are specific to the Jewish people and are not binding on non-Jews.
What does it mean when Jewish people say they do not seek converts?
-When Jewish people say they do not seek converts, it does not mean that non-Jews are not good enough or not wanted. It means that non-Jews are not obligated to follow the 613 Commandments and can be righteous and moral by following the seven Noachide laws.
What is the significance of the number 90 in the Hebrew alphabet and its relation to the righteous person?
-In the Hebrew alphabet, every letter has a numerical value. The number 90 corresponds to the letter 'Tet', which also means 'righteous person'. This is why the Rebbe's 90th birthday was highlighted as a message for everyone to aspire to be a righteous person.
What is the role of the Jewish people in relation to the Noachide laws?
-The Jewish people have the responsibility to inform the world about the basic code of morality that is the Noachide laws, not to make people Jewish, but to share a universal moral code that can unite the entire world.
How does the concept of the Noachide laws relate to the idea of natural law?
-The Noachide laws are considered by some to be a form of natural law, meaning they are inherently logical and make sense as a basic moral code that could be written within the fabric of reality, guiding people to be moral and ethical.
What is the Jewish belief regarding the ultimate trajectory of history and how does it relate to the Noachide laws?
-The Jewish belief holds that history is moving towards the Messianic era, a time of perfected world where all of humanity will keep a basic code of morality, which includes the adherence to the Noachide laws by all people.
Why might the Noachide laws appeal to some people who are not part of an organized religion?
-The Noachide laws might appeal to some because they provide a universal moral code without the need for affiliation with any specific religious denomination or organized religion, allowing for personal faith and moral practice.
How does the discussion about the Noachide laws in the script relate to the concept of unity among different faiths and beliefs?
-The script suggests that the Noachide laws could serve as a common ground for unity among different faiths and beliefs, as they are seen as a basic moral code applicable to all of humanity, regardless of specific religious affiliations.

Transcripts
the non-jews have seven laws of Noah
that's all you got to do and you get
into heaven and they're pretty easy
they're great okay so here's the
crossover you may not have known you
were waiting for and that is
controversial comedian Ari shafir
sitting down with former TV host now
extremely successful podcast host Tucker
Carlson and Tucker keeps wanting Ari to
speak about religion Ari speaks about
the fact that he went to Yeshiva when he
was younger he studied the Jewish
religion in a formal setting and Tucker
keeps on asking about it so I'm going to
show you this clip it's a short clip
where they're discussing the Jewish view
of what non-jews have to do to gain a
place in the world to come and to be
considered U good people according to
the Jewish religion all right we're
going to watch that and then afterwards
I'll come back I am a rabbi so I'll
explain a little bit more I'll fill in
more than what Ari told Tucker and maybe
even tell you what if I were in that
seat what I would have told Tucker that
he didn't ask let's watch the clip the
non-jews have seven laws of Noah that's
all you got to do and you get into
heaven and they're pretty easy they're
great they're pretty easy don't eat an
animal while it's still livinga should
be a no-brainer don't kill don't kill
harder for some people but not others
don't rape even harder for some people
but most are still on the right side of
it it's not that hard and you get to go
to heaven and you'll be right alongside
a rabbi well not only that they're
they're like very reasonable yeah
they're not like hard ones to do no
they're they're all kind of rooted in
natural law no I I read that and I yeah
when you convert they're like what are
you doing this for you're just going to
make it harder on yourself you're going
to heaven already know that's
interesting okay so Tucker likes it he
read them he knows what they are he says
they're great presumably that means he
thinks society would do well if it
followed these laws but what are these
laws Ari couldn't exactly remember what
they all were here are the laws and by
the way out of the seven six of them are
prohibitions only the seventh the last
one is a positive commandment in Jewish
law we generally we frame things in
terms of Thou shalt Thou shalt not so
the DS and don'ts by the way Jewish
people have 613 Commandments in the
Torah uh 365 don'ts 248 dos all right so
the seven noahide laws binding on all
Humanity six don'ts one do here they are
prohibition against worshiping Idols
prohibition against blaspheming or
cursing God prohibition against murder
and these are larger categories with
various different subiterations within
them so think of them as larger
categories uh the fourth is not to
commit acts of sexual immorality and
there are various different forms of
forbidden intimate relations uh five is
against stealing six is not to eat the
Flesh of a living animal uh they spoke
about that tuer andari um animal cruelty
basically and the seventh is the
positive one to establish courts of
justice that means Society has to come
together and make the previous six
Commandments enforcable okay so why
these called the noahide laws are the
laws of Noah basically because the
origin of it is Noah remember Noah was
the Survivor of the flood that means all
Humanity descends from him so that means
that all Humanity basically is supposed
to go in his way and follow the laws he
was given by God to follow now at SI
meaning after the Jewish people were
taken out of Egypt they stood at Sinai
and God gave them I'm sure you've heard
of The Ten Commandments The Ten
Commandments was sort of like the
opening act but the entirety of the
Torah the five books of Moses has within
it 613 Commandments those 613
Commandments are only binding upon
Jewish people and a non-jew is not doing
anything wrong by not following those
613 commandments so for instance this
answers the question that a lot of times
I've heard for instance like atheists
will say to Christians well if the
Bible's true why don't you refrain from
wearing a suit of wool and linen because
in Leviticus it says don't mix wool and
linen or why do you eat pork right and
and the answer is because I mean I don't
know if a Christian would say this but
I'm saying as a rabbi what I would
answer on their behalf is that a non-jew
is in no way obligated to follow all of
these commands so that's not necessary
unless you're a Jewish person uh a nonu
has seven laws to follow which are the
laws that were given to Noah and then
reiterate again at the giving of the
Torah at sin okay so here's the deal a
lot of people misunderstand when in Ari
mentions it the fact that we don't seek
converts they think it means oh you're
not good enough you we won't even
consider you to be part of our club and
I know why people think that it's
because in other religions if you don't
become part of their religion then
you're going to hell right but that's
not what the Jewish people believe we
believe a Jewish person is held to the
standard of the 6 63 Commandments a
non-jewish person is not held to that
standard doesn't need to take that
standard on like AR said what are you
doing this to yourself what do you need
this for you know you're going to be in
the afterlife right next to a rabbi just
keep the seven noahide laws so that is
absolutely correct myodes who's one of
the great sages one of the great
Scholars of uh the Jewish people he was
a rabbi in the 1100s he originally lived
in Spain and then in Morocco and then in
Egypt so my manes writes and says very
clearly that any human being who keeps
the seven noahide laws is called he uses
the
term a Pious person among the nations of
the world so when Jewish people say to a
non-jewish person don't become Jewish we
don't want we don't want you to become
Jewish it doesn't mean you're not good
enough doesn't mean oh we we don't want
you to be part of us what we're saying
is what do you need this for now
sometimes it'll happen very very rarely
that there's a person who's not Jewish
and they will have this nagging feeling
they just can't get over it that they
have to become Jewish as crazy and as
inconvenient and unnecessary as it is
and those people sometimes actually do
become Jewish but it's totally
unnecessary so the the main thing is to
understand like this um the seven
noahide laws are laws for all Humanity
from the Jewish
perspective a non-jew is not doing
anything wrong by not following the 613
Commandments a non Jew who follows the
seven noide laws is a good righteous
moral person beloved by God and who will
be rewarded for their acts and
furthermore it is our
responsibility as the Jewish people to
inform the world about this basic code
of morality not to make people Jewish
again the world does not have to become
Jewish now I want to share with you a
clip of the laav
speaking about the seven noahide laws
before I play this clip I just want to
explain that the rebba would meet anyone
who wanted to meet him people would line
up um to have their moment with him to
have an encounter he would give them a
dollar which they would then use to give
charity the whole idea was that if you
if you meet him he wants to give you
already a job to go out and do something
that would benefit the next person so
we'd give someone a dollar to use to
give give to charity and people would
have brief conversations with him that's
what this clip is so somebody came to
him before his 90th birthday um his name
is Gabriel arum he was publishing a
magazine and in the magazine he was
doing an article about that E's 90th
birthday so just a little background in
the Hebrew alphabet every letter has a
numerical value so 90 which the Reb was
turning turning the age 90 is the letter
tadic tadic also means righteous person
okay so you have to know that background
and here's the
clip Tonto the
publish and in the occasion of your 90th
birthday we are publishing a special
issue of the magazine and the special
article about your life will be written
by Rabbi adinin in your honor if I may
ask you a simple question uh on the
occasion of your 9th birthday what is
your message to the
world 90 that means s and that is a
direct indication for every Jew to
became a real sad and to do so for many
years okay now I want to pause there
Gabriel arum has a little bit of a
difficulty here the magazine that he is
publishing is not a Jewish magazine his
readership is not Jewish the Deb just
set a message about about the Jewish
people that every Jew can aspire to this
level of tadic of of a righteous person
so griel Aram watch what he does he asks
the Reb's message for the rest of the
world for the non-jewish world okay here
we go thank you and what is your message
to the general world not just the Jewish
world but the world in general the same
thing that's about the
seven laws because it is me the were
given as the m t
according to
the
Tor receive the obligation to fulfill
all the seven law together in the MIT of
Charity thank you very
much bless and isn't that amazing the
says that message to the entire world is
that everyone can be this I'll use the
Hebrew word sadic this righteous person
the Jewish people through their 63
Commandments and the rest of of humanity
through following the seven noahide laws
so everyone can be a sadic everyone can
be a righteous person so frankly I was
excited when I saw that Tucker he's an
educated man so I'm not surprised that
he knew about it but I was excited about
the fact that he likes the noahide laws
he likes the idea of it I would love if
more people would become acquainted with
it I'll tell you something also about
the noahide laws which is that this is a
way that non-jews can have faith and
practice a moral code without having to
be part of an organized religion which
may appeal to some people um
because there's no official institution
that governs this or regulates it this
is just the law of humanity so that may
appeal to some people that concept of
getting away from the the structure of
organized religion as many people have
experienced it and just getting to a
basic Universal moral code uh Tucker
called it natural law which would mean
that these things just kind of make
sense or if you want to speak
metaphysically they're written within
the fabric of reality meaning to say it
just it's logical that this is how a
person would be a moral and ethical
person but at any rate this is an
exciting development and I'm really
hoping that more and more people become
interested in the idea of the noide laws
and the possibility of
becoming deeply connected to God with
your personal faith in a way that
doesn't require any type of of
affiliation with any denomination and
it's something that could unite the
entire world and in the Jewish belief
the way that we see the trajectory
history sort of unfolding We Believe
ultimately in the Messianic era meaning
the perfected world where all of
humanity will keep this basic code of
morality hey if you enjoyed this video
