The Torah has an all-encompassing vision for mankind in which every person, Jew, and gentile, has a role to play. The Torah’s ideal role for the non-Jew is that of the Noahide (in Hebrew, the Ben Noach, Child of Noah).

More and more non-Jews have turned to the ancient wisdom of the Torah and its sages for guidance as to what God expects from them. Unfortu ...
