At first, I visited Jewish websites, I listened to lectures on the approach of Judaism and such matters as the Jewish calendar. Now I am continuing with the book &#171;Messilat Yesharim&#187; by the Ramchal. However, the deeper I delve into the study of Judaism the more I have seen that for me as a Gentile who grew up in a regular family many topics in these books are beyond my experience and my understanding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With this as a start I found some books by Rabbi Schwartz, and I have also seen Noahide websites where I read various articles. My question is: can you recommend any books for Bnei Noach? What do you recommend for an in-depth study of the Seven Mitzvot? Is there halachic literature for Bnei Noach?<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"text-align: right;\">A: You should read &#171;The Return of Israel and the Hope of the World&#187; by Abraham Livni (recently translated into English \u2013 available from Gefen Publishers and Amazon). We at the Noahide World Center are in the process of writing a Code of Laws for Noahides. In the meantime, you can read Chapters 9 and 10 of the Laws of Kings (Hilchot Melachim) written by the Rambam.<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Can you recommend any books for Bnei Noach?
