Dedication: Misneh Torah, Melachim U'Melchamot, Chapter 8 Law 11
“With the Giving of the Torah, the Elohim of Israel chose the
descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as His Chosen People,
instructing them to fulfill the 613 Commandments of the Torah. He
also commanded the righteous of the other nations (Gentiles) of
the world to keep the Seven Commandments of the Children of
Noah and commanded Moses and his people to teach them
how.”[1] “The Mosaic and Noahide Laws were inextricably bound
together. The Children of Noah, the righteous Gentiles, were
obligated to fulfill the Commandments because they were given
on Mount Sinai. This was the beginning of the true universal religion
in which Israel, the Jewish people, is the priest and the Children of
Noah, the righteous Gentiles, its faithful laymen.”[2]
