Non-Jews, Jews and Mitzvot 4: Brit Avot ~ Brit Noach ~ Brit Sinai

Sponsored by Lynn and Jan Fidler in honor of the 5th anniversary of their aliyah on the 30th of November.


  • In Part 1 of this series we looked at the outline of the seven Noahide laws and how they impact on non-Jews. In Part 2 we looked at our obligations as Jews to ensure - under the rubric of the mitzva of Lifnei Iver - that non-Jews do not break their mitzvot. In Part 3 we moved to the Avot and looked at whether they were non-Jews, proto-Jews or full Jews and in what sense they kept the mitzvot.
  • In this final part, we will look at the residual effect of Brit Noach on our mitzvot and the active interplay of Brit Avot and Brit Sinai.
