A request directed to anyone who is able to
assist in furthering the fulfillment of a very important
mitzvah.
We are witnessing the fulfillment of the prophecy "And I will
send a famine in the land, not hunger for food and not thirst
for water but (a yearning) to hear the word of G-d".
In the wider world a revolution is occurring. Many non-Jews
have abandoned their former religion and are seeking the truth.
A movement of "Benai Noach" has begun in various countries.
It is essential that we try to assist this development.
We the undersigned request the assistance of anyone who is
able to help in this very important undertaking by ... :
A) The establishment of academic frameworks in the
Diaspora in which non-Jews will be able to study
fundamentals of their required faith. This refers both
to the theological principles that they are required to
accept and to the practical application of the seven
Noachide laws and the additional obligations which apply to
them.
B) Creating frameworks like an open university that will
enable students to take correspondence courses in these
subjects.
C) Establishing an institution in the Holy Land for
teaching these subjects and securing academic recognition
for courses in the above-mentioned subject matter including
the possibility for obtaining a degree in it. Such an
institution could function as a site where such courses will
be given to participants who will come here for that purpose
and/or as the sponsor of the above-mentioned correspondence
courses.
