Shalom, I am needing advice as to what to say to a family member on how to deal with stress everyday. She prays, she discusses her issues with her family, she reads books on emuna, she does teshuva and yet she says she is still stressed. Physically, spiritually, financially stressed. I am often praying for her, too. I don’t know what to say to her anymore. She doesn’t want to hear anything negative like she doesn’t have emuna, she isn’t praying hard enough, etc. I don’t blame her, she wants something positive to help her get through the day and the week. Any advice that you can give me would be most helpful. Even good reading material. We have read the Garden of Emuna and now going thru the Garden of Gratitude. Sincerely, Min(Noahide)
Halakhic relationship to Noah
Shalom Rabbi, since I am aware of seven commandments I perform them, but recently I came across the following quotes:
And language Maimonides Temple vessels and workers at FFA HW: “sum dishes and animals, and nations are likewise
Ra’avad:
That nations are like cattle … and who thinks them anything consumptive wind picked up, with like a donkey ‘,’ both nations, as Mr. Marley and all of them will carry the spirit, and thinks them anything consumptive wind picked
R. Zadok the priest from Lublin:
Book, “visiting the barren, YT page, column 3, he wrote:” … and when it comes Messiah … they [Gentiles] will recognize and acknowledge that there is called ‘man’ but in Israel … but in any case, in relation to Israel even now they are a beast … ”
Now I believe highly Balohim”abl these quotes because I feel that God hates me, Abll also I can not believe these quotes were said also to the sons of Noah, that the ratio for those guards seventh commandment pretty well, and so I tend to believe that the intention was for those who maintain seven commandments ,, and because there were simply so those who keep Include all the nations
So I wanted to ask you a small minority also considered an animal guardian?
What are your views?
Thanks?

Jewish Holidays
Premise;
We in QCHU Philippines are obeying or following almost all of Jewish Torah except torah and halakah for Levites , likes Pisach,Shavout,Rosh Chodesh, Rosh hashanah,Yom kippur,Sukkot, and we also rest during Sabbath,as well as we follow the Law of Kashrut.
But care has been taken not to follow this a 100%(not in the manner of Jews) so that we cannot encroach the heritage of the Jewish People. We enforce this in a voluntary basis to members, but since most of us are from Church of God,Seventh Day Adventist and Sacred Name Believer who are already accustomed this feast and laws, so we prefer to remain in such observance in honor of Jewish People and the Torah of Hashem that was given to Rabbinu Mosheh in Mt. Sinai. The 7 laws are always be priority to members especially to new comers.
My Question is;
1. Is this action/Practices are not creating another religion?
2. If this is creating another Religion ,is their other way or guide to correct this?
We humbly submit ourselves Rabbi for correction.

Conversion vs Noahide
My husband and I have discussed conversion over the past few years. I think the question of conversion comes up because with both want to be closer to HaShem. We spend time studying and praying, and it seems like our conversations generally revolve around HaShem. But we have never made the decision to convert. Not because we think it would be too hard, or that our jobs would interfere, or family wouldn’t understand. Quite the opposite. We already eat clean, and my husband says morning and evening prayers, and we love and look forward to Friday nights, and our families love HaShem, our jobs are flexible both for hours and location. It would almost seem the next logical step. But recently, I have been seeing life in a different light. As a Noahide or a gentile, I am in a unique position to raise a family and live righteously and speak to other people about my life and my faith. Not to just live by example, but to freely express my love for HaShem. It is the Jews job to be the light unto the nations, and the gentile/Noahide to fulfill the correction of the world. I have previously thought that the end result of becoming closer to HaShem and doing His will would necessarily be conversion. And now I am suddenly faced with the idea that Noahides ultimately have a responsibility.
I have read both view points. And while I previously thought I SHOULD convert, I now am uncertain. Is it really a higher spiritual level to covert? A further closeness to HaShem, or can that same spiritual level be achieved by accepting your place in this world, as a Noahide working towards the correction of the nations?
Increased responsibility when a person declare himself as a Ben Noah
Question
If we bear witness before Beth Din that we accept upon ourselves the observation Seven Commandments, than from such a minute our responsibility for their transgression increase a lot. If we are in a state of ignorance, without clearly formulated Commandments, we can make a serious violation of Commandments.
For example, I am a store administrator. Workday ends at 18.00. If there are no people in a store, I close a store at 17.55. That is, 5 minutes of working time I stole from my employers. One of the Seven Commandments, which is a full obligatory for Bnei Noah, is a prohibition of theft. Conclusion: closing a store five minutes earlier, I have stolen them, namely above Commandment – i.e. above prohibition. Punishment for transgression any of Seven Commandments is the death penalty (of cause, in the time of the Temple). As far as I know, today the punishment is kareth. Tell us please, what should we do?
Rabbi’s answer:
1. Responsibility with all its consequences is more preferable then irresponsibility with all its freedom. Responsible person has a sense in his life, thou even in some moments he have to suffer for his ideals.
2. It’s necessary to study our obligations – and it’s a debt of each person, even if he doesn’t declare the Commandments before Beth-Din yet.
3. There is no too much details of the Bnei Noah Commandments. There are a lot of details of details but they are different in a different societies. So, for example, in law of theft there is a law of forgiveness. Namely if the person from whom something was stolen, forgive a theft or neglects a stolen, this makes the crime of a theft invalid. A part of a Jewish wisemen believe that the society which sets a fine for theft, thereby, in a sense, forgives the thief, and therefore in such cases there is no punishment by death, God forbid.
The death sentence in Beth-Din in Israel, of course, was connected with the existence of the Sanhedrin, which was located in the Temple, but this is not related to the Beth-Din of Bnei Noah. At the same time, some authorities believe that Beth-Din does not have a direct obligation to enforce the death penalty, but there is only the authority to do so if such a need arises. Actually, the task of such a Beth-Din is to monitor the observance of the Bnei Noah commandments, despite the fact that the law enforcement function itself is in the hands of the state. And since there is no Bnei Noah state, then this question is practically irrelevant.
And besides, it is not true that for such a crime there is a punishment of kareth.
