The Lubavitcher Rebbe's Call to Teach the Noahide Code to All Mankind

As a foremost global spiritual leader, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, emphasized that G-d commanded the Jewish people, through Moshe at Mount Sinai, to influence the people of the world to observe the Torah's Seven Noahide Commandments. This mandate was transmitted through the generations and codified by Maimonides. Despite the key importance of this mission, Jews were unable to fulfill it during most of their difficult history.

The Rebbe explained that by Divine Providence, the freedoms of religion and speech in our modern societies make it possible - and thus obligatory - for Jews to now be involved in spreading out this much-needed universal message. But was any guidance provided for how to pursue this? In fact, the Rebbe directly addressed the following questions, and more:

• What is the basis in Torah for this outreach?
• What is the pious faith for Gentiles in G-d's eyes, and what parts of Torah should they learn?
• Who should be involved in this outreach?

This book presents a systematic compilation of the Rebbe's many teachings and directives for Jews, and Gentiles as well, about how to widely promote belief in G-d, observance of the Noahide code, and acts of goodness and kindness.
