• Shalom,

  I appologize for taking so long to reply, I have been out of town.

  Being a Noahide (Righteous Gentile) is not a religion.

  Hashem instituted ONE True "religion" for all of humanity with Israel as the Priests. Although we are not Jewish, we are the non-Jews in Judaism. Meaning we live by the Torah as it applies to us with Israel as our teachers.

  There are some noahides who for IRS purposes classify themselves as a religion, but the rabbis have clearly explained to us that it is not a religion ;-)

  We as noahides have the freedom to celebrate the Holy Days and most do but it is not required. Those of us who do celebrate them don't do so as Israel does as we are not Israel :-) so we Honor more than Observe.

  It is not like being Jewish although we are very Jew friendly :-)  but Hashem never intended for the 70 nations to become Jewish, we each of us have our own personalities as do our differring nations..... but all nations will one day worship Hashem the right way with Israel as our Priests to guide us.

  Most call themselves B'nai Noah (Decendants of Noah), Noahide, or Righteous Gentiles ( This is my preference as this is what we aspire to.

  I hope this helps

  Shalom

  Pam

  The Torah given at Sinai was translated into seventy different languages, Israel was commanded by G'D to make sacrifices during Sukkot on behalf of the 70 Nations of the world.
