[This article is dedicated to the Refu shelemmàh chol shel kol 'am Israel]
Here we are in the week of Parashat Noach.
E 'is well known that this is also parashah 7 mizwot of Bnei Noach, that is, all the sons of Noah, except those who accepted upon himself mizwot 613, as Avraham Avinu ע"ה and more. From the time Rabbenu ע"ה of Moses, especially since it actually consists of the people 'am Israel through the receipt of mizwot, we have a distinction. The Jewish people inherited upon himself the receipt of 613 mizwot, while all others are considered Bnei Noach and are required on mizwot 7, if they want to change their status, can make the ghiur, ie the conversion process.
Retained on this part of what is beginning to tell the Rambam ז"ל as an introduction to the subject, just before entering the detailed description of all 7 mizwot Bnei Noach at the end of the seventh chapter of Hilkhot Melakhim (halakhot 10-11) [because the length of the text - reporting only the part relating to our discourse, but it's always good to see each other using the complete sources]
משה רבינו לא הנחיל התורה והמצות אלא לישראל. שנאמר מורשה קהלת יעקב. ולכל הרוצה Convert from other nations. Said Achchma Achger. But who did not want Lupin not to accept the Torah and matzos. Moses and commanded by the heroic bend everyone in the world have been ordered Noahide commandment. Etc.:(Halakhah 10) Mosheh Rabbenu has left a legacy of the Torah and mizwot Israael if not, it is said "Morashàh Qehillat Yaakov" ~ "Legacy of the community of Yaakov," and anyone who wants to convert the other people ... but who does not want it undertakes not to receive the Torah and mizwot. And likewise he commanded Mosheh Rabbenu on behalf of Hashem to compel every person on earth to receive upon himself mizwot which they were commanded the Bnei Noach ...כל המקבל שבע מצות ונזהר לעשותן הרי זה מחסידי Nations. And has some of the next world. And he receives them and do them because they share''mitzvah the Torah inform us by Moses that they were ordered to lay before. But if Ashane from kneeling knowledge אין זה גר תושב ואינו מחסידי אומות העולם ולא מחכמיהם:(Halakhah 11) Everybody who gets on whether the seven mizwot Bnei Noach and be careful to make is considered one of the "Hasid Ummot Ha'olam" that the pious among the people Universe, and has a part in the 'Olam Ha-Ba. This is true whether the task as they receive and are controlled by HaQadosh Barukh Hu in the Torah and there has been disclosed by Mosheh Rabbenu that Bnei Noach received these commandments, but if did so only for a reason is not considered an intellectual Gher Toshav and is not part of "Hasid Ummot Ha'olam" and his essays.
points I want to touch right now are only two:
- Make the mizwot depending on what you . All other populations are required to convert others to their beliefs, sometimes forcibly. We B "H IS" L we do not need it because everyone receives the mizwot depending on what is, which has the potential to be developed. Lehavdil is just like a mobile phone - has more features, more comprehensive instruction manual will be massive. Basically the Bnei Noach have some potential, and must necessarily use them, to do what they have received seven mizwot Bnei Noach. The Bnei Israel, having different potentials should seek to exploit them with even more instructions, in so doing each act brings their own potential. In the event that a well-Noach desires, may accept on themselves, according to the principles of ghiur, all 613 mizwot and in doing so should also know that it is liable to the penalties added, such as the death penalty in the case of non-observance of the Sabbath . There is no need to have new gherim mizwot that do not comply, as it is sufficient that they comply with the 7 mizwot Bnei Noach. One purpose is not to increase sins - if a person disobeys a seven divine will is severe, but more serious is to disobey 613.
- Mizwot - Divine . A well-Noach mizwot not looking for any Divine command, but only for ethical reasons, intellectuals, political or otherwise is not considered: (a) accepting the 7 mizwot Bnei Noach, losing the title of "Gher Toshav" because not has accepted as Divine Will, but for his personal reasons, (b) the 7 rispettante mizwot Bnei Noach, losing the title of "Hasid Ummot Ha'olam" and that by definition because the term "Mizwot means precepts, commands directly by Ha-Qadosh Barukh Hu. Therefore if you are not accepted and taken as such actions do not bear on whether the term "Mizwot. There would probably be to extend the talk, but I think it's enough right now.
From what each person can reason about itself and the role it has. These sentences on Bnei Noach are not limited to them only clearly, as the reasoning is valid for all.
Be "H that we would all put on the right track, trying to do His Will in the best way.
Shabbat Shalom
