Shomrai HaBrit Noach Shel Britaniya HaGdola

The Noachide Study Group of Great Britain

A new group has started up in the UK for Bnai Noach, under the direction and supervision of Rabbi Yitzchok Sufrin, shlit'a (Director of the Friends of Small Communities, which is a division of Chabad-Lubavitch UK), with the help and support of the Director of the 'United Noahide Academies' (www.asknoah.org).

Our goal is to establish a group where Noahides can meet other Noahides who are interested in sharing information, discussing and learning about the Seven Universal Commandments of the Covenant of Noah.

Currently we are holding monthly meetings, which last two hours. In the first hour of the class, Rabbi Sufrin will teach from the new comprehensive codification (Shulchan Aruch) of noachide law, which clearly defines for the first time, all of the details of the proper observance of the Covenant of the Descendants of Noah. It is in the form of a Hebrew book called ‘Sefer Sheva Mitzvot HaShem: Volume I’ (The Book of Seven Divine Commandments). It will soon be translated into English by its producers: AskNoah International.

Then for the second half of the meeting, Rabbi Sufrin teaches from the second book of the Tanya, namely ‘Shaar HaYichud VehaEmunah’ (The Gate to [the understanding of] G-d’s Unity and the Faith). The Lubavitcher Rebbe recommended that this section of the Tanya be taught to Noachides. (see Likutei Sichos, Vol. 25, p. 192).

The topic at our meetings is limited to Orthodox Jewish teachings about the Noachide laws and the correct/appropriate beliefs and concepts for Noachides to hold. It doesn't matter what religion you may have been a member of in the past, that’s not our concern. We are not an Interfaith Forum, and we will not discuss any other religion. Politics are also not an appropriate subject.

The meetings are on an invitation only basis, so if you would like to attend, simply fill out the form below, and tell us a little about yourself and your interest in Torah and the Noachide Commandments.
