Book a Rabbi
Seven universal laws for all humanity — given to Noah and his descendants, renewed through every generation. A moral covenant that requires no conversion and belongs to every person on earth.
According to Jewish tradition, God gave seven fundamental commandments to Noah after the flood — binding upon every human being, regardless of background or faith. Six are prohibitions; the seventh is a positive obligation to establish courts of justice.
These laws are not an alternative to any religion. They are the universal floor of moral civilization — the minimum ethical standard that allows humanity to live together in dignity, trust, and peace. One who observes them sincerely is called a Chasid Umos HaOlam — a Righteous Gentile.
Select a law to read its full teaching, context, and primary sources.
אִסּוּר עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה
Acknowledge the One God who created all existence. No worship of idols, false gods, or any being other than the Creator.
אִסּוּר בִּרְכַּת הַשֵּׁם
Honor the name of God with reverence. Do not curse or speak contemptuously of the Divine, who is the source of all life.
אִסּוּר שְׁפִיכוּת דָּמִים
Human life is sacred and inviolable. Every person is created in the image of God — to take an innocent life is an act against the Divine itself.
אִסּוּר גִּלּוּי עֲרָיוֹת
Uphold the sanctity of family and intimate relationships. Adultery and incest are among the unions forbidden to all of humanity.
אִסּוּר גָּזֵל
Respect the property and rights of every person. Do not take what belongs to another — whether by force, deception, or exploitation.
אִסּוּר אֵבֶר מִן הַחַי
Do not consume a limb torn from a living animal. All creatures are God's creation and are owed basic compassion and dignity.
חוֹבַת הַדִּינִים
Build a lawful and just society. Establish courts to adjudicate fairly, uphold the other six laws, and ensure justice is accessible to all.
Study each law in depth with courses taught by rabbis who live this covenant every day.
