Are Jews Obligated to Help Noahides Discover Their Way?

Establishing the Law in the World

According to Maimonides' Mishneh Torah: "Someone who does not wish to accept the Torah and its commandments [that is, Israel's laws] should not be forced to. [But] By the same token, Moses was commanded by the Almighty to compel all the inhabitants of the world to accept the laws given to the descendants of Noah." (Hilchot Melachim 8:10). This obligation is incumbent upon every individual in every era. However, "compel," in this context, is normally interpreted as "compulsion through persuasion - to lead men's hearts to the will of their Creator." (Mishnah Torah, Pirke Avot 3:14, Tosefot Yom Tov).
