Shalom Rabbi, I am trying to B.H” start having classes to promote the Noahide life, but I am in need of prayer books. I do not see a link to a online store at your site, is this something that you are working on and meanwhile where would I be able to purchase and if there is more than one book then which one would be your suggestion?
Thank you

Reading “Christian” texts
I see a big difference between the Christian Scriptures (I do not want to use the term “New Testament” except to clarify that it is a misleading title for the collection of books I am refering to) and what the majority of churches teach. In addition I see major differences between the Aramaic Christian texts and the Greek (just as differences in the Tanak when comparing the Hebrew with the Septuagint). My questions are these? First, is it acceptable for a Noahide to read, study, and even use these texts for guidance and teaching if one does not accept or practice the idolatrous aspects of Christianity? Second, is there value in studying these texts for academic study? Are there specific prohibitions relative to these questions? Thank you.
Is there any ceremony to be a Bnei Noah?
Question:
How do you do, dear Rabbi. My name is Sergey. If it is possible, please answer my question. I was baptized, I am a former Christian. Realzing the New Testament more and more, I have concluded that Christianity is not what I need. Now God has shown me the Judaism, where I find answers to my questions, a harmony and a confidence in my soul. Tell me please, is there any custom \ ceremony to be a Ben Noah? Thank you.
Answer:
A sincere repentance is a self-correction. When a person was baptized, is was not a rebellion agains his Creator that’s why it is demanded from him only a work upon himself. That’s why his acceptation the Pledge before the Jewish court (from three men) is a practical declare his correction.
Rav has a mind that preferable to do such Pledge before three practicing Jews.
I think that the phrase “three companions”, used by the Talmud and the Rambam, means that the Pledge can be declared before another Bnei Noah – who already accepted Seven Commandments. And practically, it is hard to impress how Jewish courts can accept such pledges from six milliard people of the world.
If a person haven’t a possibility to appear before the Jewish court or before court of Bnei Noah, he can perform such the Pledge online, through the Internet communications.

noahide laws
Could you please give Torah references for the inception of the noahide laws. If this is not a Torah teaching;(1) What about the mixed multitude that went up from Mitzraim with Israel and became part of Israel when they stood “under the mountain” (2)Why is this a modern day teaching for that same multitude, is it a tit for tat for replacement theology. or is Judah trying to nail Ephraim out of the Kingdom.
Chabad -Tanya
I like reading Tanya, and Chabad articles, books like Path of the Just, The Way of God, Kabbalah. What is the view of these books, dictrines, by Noahide World Center?
Noahide Preyer
I would like to know how I have to pray as a noahide and also as a potencial jew (I’m considering orthodox conversion). Nowadays I’m using the book of tehilim as a siddur, praying three times a day according to this webpage: http://www.noahide.com/prayer.htm
The point is that I don’t know if this type of prayer is convenient for me or if you can recommend me a special siddur or give me some advice.
Todah rabah!!
Acepting the Noachide Creed
My father was Jewish and my mother “converted” in 1963 through the Jewish Theological Seminary (Conservative), which now ordains homosexual men, lesbians, and other whackos. If I wanted to “join” the Noachides, would I swear in front of a beis din that I don’t accept yuska, etc. etc. ?
Paternity
Why is paternity in Noahides not fully recognized? I read that because of abovementioned a Noahide may marry his paternal half-sister
