Links

We have been reluctant to offer links.

Most Jewish sites are simply that: Jewish. So someone who wants to know what the Torah has to say to a non-Jew (a Noahide) may not find them welcoming. Not yet, anyway. We try to help, but not every Jewish group understands yet that the Torah has a huge "outpatient department," the First Covenant (or Noahism).

Most of the Torah-oriented sites that do address Noahides have big flaws. But we believe in our readers. We believe that, after discovering the Torah in outline, the wise can detect on their own what's questionable on a website. So, without endorsing any site unconditionally, these links all offer good things:

http://www.myspace.com/bnai_noah  (Rev. Jack E. Saunders' site. The only place to get quite a few of our interview shows, our videos, and some of our lectures. Also see Jack's video lectures on the "Documentary Hypothesis" [regarding the Bible; debunking the illogical and often really nutty arguments of conventional academic thinking - which themselves supposedly "debunk" the Bible]. Besides being unique, they are remarkably rich - extremely informative.)

http://academyofshem.com/  (Alan W. Cecil's site - author of The Noahide Code: a guide to the perplexed Christian. This little book is very erudite and information-packed but not always right. Its analysis of Christianity's theology and development is interesting but most Christians will find it offputting. We definitely like Alan's appreciation of Rainbow Covenant: "Insightful and often amusing, this is the best book available about the Seven Laws of Noah."

http://unitedisrael.org (Website of United Israel World Union, a tight-knit organization originally founded by David Horowitz (1903-2002) of New York. Its chief objective, in its own words, is and has been "to represent a universal version of the Hebraic faith to the non-Jewish world, based primarily on the Hebrew Bible, as well as provide a meeting place for Jews with non-Jews.")

http://www.geocities.com/rachav7    (by Noahides, for Noahides, from Australia)

http://www.okbns.org/ (by Noahides, for Noahides, from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Oklahoma B'nai Noah Society recently released a Noahide prayerbook or siddur called Service of the Heart. It's surprisingly good despite its flaws. Rabbi Michael Katz calls it part of "an ongoing conversation." He and other scholars, including Rev. Jack Saunders, contributed to it. You can see it online here.)

http://www.torah.org  

http://7lawsofnoah.blogspot.com (news and views from Canada)

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16873400509&ref=ts   Virtual Bnai Noah/ Noahide Community facebook group. An interface for networking - it "may work to unify and possibly build up a physical Noahide Community in your area."

http://www.mesora.org (Torah - "the Tradition")

http://www.noahidenations.org (for Noahides by Noahides. Ray Pettersen's Noahide Nations' site, including Noahide Nations' elaborate virtual yeshiva. Jack Saunders and Rabbi Michael Katz are regular contributors. One of the more ambitious Noahide sites.)

http://www.613.org (613 commandments within Sinai's Ten Commandments)

http://www.tfdixie.com (Torah for Dixie)

http://www.outreachjudaism.org (even with this name, this also addresses a Jewish audience. Judaism doesn't "reach out" to try to make non-Jews Jewish. Non-Jews who convert to Judaism are trying to do more than God asks of them. But anyone can, and everyone should, become a co-religionist of Israel - a believer in HaShem ("the Name," or God), a member of the same community of faith.)

http://www.afsi.org (Americans for a Safe Israel - culture wars and geo-politics with a neo-conservative slant. Frequently excellent but occasionally too pro-Republican partisan.)

http://hurryupharry.bloghouse.net/archives/cat_syrian_journal.html (a British blogger's take on Syria and the wretched mess called the modern Arab world. Funny)

http://www. schuellerhouse.com (a "Netzarim" site - you can read about the doctrine of the Netzarim - which is not a doctrine that we endorse, but we don't fret about it endlessly, either - on this site, along with a huge amount of other material. Webmaster: an old friend of ours, a devoted Noahide, Kenneth Guentert.)

http://www.asknoah.org  (CHABAD - Hasidic Jews - for Noahides. These folks teach some peculiar doctrines, like the idea that their late leader, Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of blessed memory, was more than human! [This doctrine is antithetical to Judaism, but - well, go figure.] They refuse to acknowledge our existence or even that of Rainbow Covenant, the book, the bums. Also, we hate their take on the Seven Laws - and we're not too nuts about their take on Israel, Torah, or the purpose of existence. They are, however, fairly active, and they often add new content. Take the good, if you can find it, ignore the bad.)

http://lazerbrody.typepad.com/lazer_beams/bnai_noach (different Hasidic Jews: Rabbi Brody, disciple of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, for Noahides. Be warned, however, and this goes for the chabad-influenced people mentioned above as well as all the varied groups that call themselves hasidic, or chasidic, there is no such thing as a hasidic gentile. The very concept is preposterous. Once you get past that nonsense, however, you may find some good stuff here.)

Please let us know of other likely candidates. And, if you don't mind, please let us know about any non-working links.

One more thing. If you go to a site that you like and think that they should link to us, please let us know and - while you're at it, please ask them to do just that: link to http://www.1stcovenant.org. (Linking like that raises these pages' search-engine ranking.)
