A Covenant of Nations

Sixty brave Noahide leaders from twenty-two countries stood on the Mount of Olives, facing the place of the Temple, and signed one scroll. When the last name was set down, the hall broke into song and dance.

This is not a new religion. It is the oldest covenant in the world, signed again in Jerusalem.

In the name of Hashem, Creator of the Universe

בשם י"י אל עולם

The Noahide Scroll

מגילת בני נח

And many nations shall join themselves to Hashem on that day, and shall be My people.

וְנִלְווּ גוֹיִם רַבִּים אֶל י"י בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וְהָיוּ לִי לְעָם

Zekharia 2:15

Thus says Hashem of Hosts: In those days, ten men from all the languages of the nations shall take hold, they shall take hold of the corner of the garment of a Jewish man, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’

כֹּה אָמַר י"י צְבָאוֹת בַּיָּמִים הָהֵמָּה אֲשֶׁר יַחֲזִיקוּ עֲשָׂרָה אֲנָשִׁים מִכֹּל לְשֹׁנוֹת הַגּוֹיִם וְהֶחֱזִיקוּ בִּכְנַף אִישׁ יְהוּדִי לֵאמֹר נֵלְכָה עִמָּכֶם כִּי שָׁמַעְנוּ אֱלֹהִים עִמָּכֶם

Zekharia 8:23

At the dawn of history, the Creator of the world made a covenant with humanity. The covenant was completed in the days of Noah after the Flood, and was sealed with the sign of the rainbow. The people of Israel were entrusted with preserving the memory of the covenant for all inhabitants of the world, and with being a blessing to all the families of the earth.

בראשית ההיסטוריה, כרת בורא העולם ברית עם האדם. הברית הושלמה בימי נוח אחרי המבול ונחתמה במראה הקשת בענן. עם ישראל הופקד על שמירת זכרון הברית לכל באי העולם, ולהיות ברכה לכל משפחות האדמה.

From then until now, many have joined themselves to Hashem: the followers of Avraham, the hosts of Hashem who left Egypt alongside the children of Israel, Yitro, Hiram, and Naaman, and all who fear Hashem and thirst for His word across the generations.

מאז ועד עתה נלוו רבים מבאי העולם אל ה', והם אנשי בית אברהם, וצבאות ה' היוצאים ממצרים עם בני ישראל, יתרו, חירם ונעמן, וכל יראי ה' הצמאים לדברו בכל הדורות.

In modern times, some of the greatest sages of Israel have focused their attention on bringing the Torah to the Noahides, including Rabbi Eliyahu Benamozegh, the Lubavitcher Rebbe (Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson), and the Rishon LeTzion, Rabbi Mordekhai Eliyahu.

בעת החדשה, מהמעולים שבחכמי ישראל נתנו את דעתם לתורת בני נוח. ביניהם הרב אליהו בן אמוזג, הרבי מנחם מנדל מלובביץ', הראשון לציון הרב מרדכי אליהו.

By the grace of Hashem, the organization Brit Olam, the Noahide World Center, was established in Jerusalem to provide support and guidance to anyone desiring to cleave to the God of Israel and His Torah from anywhere in the world, as individuals or communities, by following the Noahide commandments according to the Halakhic tradition based on the Talmud and the rulings of the great sages of Israel throughout the generations. Personal initiatives have evolved into a global movement, drawing inspiration from Jerusalem and from the nation of Israel returning to its land, to be a blessing to all the families of the earth. Before our very eyes, the prophecies of Yeshayahu and Mikha are coming to life:

בחסדי ה' קם בירושלים ארגון ברית עולם - המרכז העולמי לבני נוח, המעניק תמיכה והדרכה עבור כל החפץ להידבק באלוהי ישראל ובתורתו בכל הארצות, הן ליחידים והן לקהילות, בהנחלת מצוות בני נוח לפי מסורת הפסיקה ההלכתית מהתלמוד וגדולי ישראל לדורותיהם. היוזמות האישיות הפכו לתנועה עולמית של ממש, שיונקת הארה מירושלים ומעם ישראל השב אל ארצו, להיות ברכה לכל משפחות האדמה. מתקיימות לעינינו נבואותיהם של ישעיהו ומיכה:

And many peoples shall go and say: ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of Hashem, to the house of the God of Yaakov; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths.’ For out of Zion shall go forth the Torah, and the word of Hashem from Jerusalem.

וְהָלְכוּ עַמִּים רַבִּים וְאָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַעֲלֶה אֶל הַר י"י אֶל בֵּית אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב וְיֹרֵנוּ מִדְּרָכָיו וְנֵלְכָה בְּאֹרְחֹתָיו כִּי מִצִּיּוֹן תֵּצֵא תוֹרָה וּדְבַר י"י מִירוּשָׁלָיִם

Yeshayahu 2:3

Therefore, we, representatives of Noahides from around the world, have assembled on the 24th of Marcheshvan 5787 in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, upon the Mount of Olives, facing the Valley of Yehoshaphat and the site of the Holy Temple, to enter a covenant with the nation of Israel and their Torah, and to sign the founding scroll of the growing global movement, in anticipation of the day when Hashem shall be King over all the earth, and all flesh shall call upon His Name.

על כן, אנו, נציגים של בני נוח מכל העולם, באנו ביום כ"ד במרחשוון תשפ"ז, אל ירושלים בירת ישראל, בהר הזיתים, מול עמק יהושפט ומקום המקדש, לכרות ברית עם עם ישראל ותורתו, ולהניח את חתימתנו על מגילת היסוד של התנועה העולמית ההולכת ונבנית, בציפיה לבוא היום שבו יהיה ה' למלך על כל הארץ, וכל בני בשר יקראו בשמו.

For then I will turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Hashem, to serve Him with one accord.

כִּי אָז אֶהְפֹּךְ אֶל עַמִּים שָׂפָה בְרוּרָה לִקְרֹא כֻלָּם בְּשֵׁם י"י לְעׇבְדוֹ שְׁכֶם אֶחָד

Tzefania 3:9

Blessed are You, Hashem, our God, King of the Universe, who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this occasion.

ברוך שהחיינו וקיימנו והגיענו לזמן הזה

מגילת העצמאות

24 Cheshvan 5787 · 4 November 2026

Jerusalem, Mount of Olives

Sixty people from twenty-two countries sign a scroll. People of the nations turn toward Jerusalem.

מגילת בני נח

The first scroll healed the heart. This one begins to heal the body. Israel is the heart among the limbs. Joined again, heart and body can bring the world into harmony.

The next verse

The scroll quotes Isaiah 2:3. Read the verse that follows it.

They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and they shall learn war no more.

וְכִתְּתוּ חַרְבוֹתָם לְאִתִּים וַחֲנִיתוֹתֵיהֶם לְמַזְמֵרוֹת לֹא יִשָּׂא גוֹי אֶל גּוֹי חֶרֶב וְלֹא יִלְמְדוּ עוֹד מִלְחָמָה

Isaiah 2:4

The prophets of Israel did not describe a private salvation. They described a world: nations that keep their own names and their own languages, walk toward one mountain, and stop learning war.

The order of the two verses is the whole argument. First the Torah goes out from Zion. Then the swords are put down. What would it take for the second verse to happen without the first?

That is why this scroll was signed by people of many nations. And that is why you are invited to stand with it.

Who stands with it

The ground it stands on

The movement that signed this scroll rests on a body of practical guidance: Covenant of Peace (Brit Shalom), Rabbi Oury Cherki’s guide to the Seven Commandments. In 2019 and 2020, nine rabbis wrote letters of blessing and approbation for that work, among them two Chief Rabbis of Israel and the Chief Rabbis of Jerusalem, Safed and Ramat Gan. These are their words about the book and the task.

“All of humanity is a single entity, and each nation contributes its portion according to what Divine Providence has designated for it.”
Rabbi David LauChief Rabbi of Israel, President of the Great Rabbinical Court
Letter of blessing, 2 February 2020
“The repentance of the world is an obligation incumbent upon us: to awaken and to repair.”
Rabbi Shmuel EliyahuChief Rabbi of Safed
Recommendation, December 2019
“May it be His will that your words be accepted and truly bring about a covenant of peace.”
Rabbi Aryeh SternChief Rabbi of Jerusalem
Letter of blessing, autumn 2019
