"Thank you for this great introduction on our journey seeking the truth. Thank you so much."
A free introductory Noahide course · From Jerusalem
The Seven Laws that make a life whole. And how to begin living them.
Given to all humanity. Yours to live.
A way of life, not a religion. A covenant older than any religion, and wide enough to hold every nation inside it. You are not asked to leave your people, your language, or your nation.
The Seven Laws of Noah are the foundation the Hebrew Bible gives to all humanity — the moral covenant that makes a life whole. To become a Noahide is not to convert and not to leave your people, but to take up this covenant as a way of life: to uphold justice, and to reject idolatry, blasphemy, murder, theft, forbidden relationships, and cruelty to animals. This free course, taught from Jerusalem under Rabbi Oury Cherki, is where that path begins.

How to begin.
Four recorded lessons, each one resting on the one before it. From the man who first called the world to one God, to the step that is yours to take.

The Seven Laws of Noah
The seven laws given to all humanity at the very beginning, through Noah. Not a list of prohibitions kept on the side, but the shape of an ordinary life lived well.

Questions people ask
How do I become a Noahide?
You become a Noahide by choosing to live the Seven Laws of Noah as your way of life — no ceremony, no conversion, and no cost. The clearest way to begin is to learn what the covenant asks and how to keep it, which is exactly what this free course teaches in four recorded lessons from Jerusalem. When you are ready, you can also mark the step with a written declaration.
What are the Seven Laws of Noah?
They are the seven principles the Hebrew Bible gives to every nation: to establish justice, and to turn away from idolatry, blasphemy, murder, theft, forbidden relationships, and eating flesh torn from a living animal. Together they form the covenant God made with all humanity through Noah after the flood. This course walks through them one lesson at a time.
Do I have to convert to Judaism to keep the Seven Laws?
No. The Seven Laws are given to all humanity, not only to the Jewish people, so keeping them is a way of life rather than a conversion. A Noahide remains a non-Jew, within their own nation and tradition, while living the covenant carried through Israel.
Is the course really free?
Yes. All four lessons are free, in full, with no payment and no obligation. The teaching is offered from the Noahide World Center in Jerusalem as part of its mission, not for sale.
Do I have to leave my people, my language, or my nation?
No. The Noahide covenant is lived exactly where you are — you are not asked to leave your people, your language, or your nation. It is a universal way of life meant for every nation on earth.
