Dear Friend, The Institute for Judaism and Civilization is due to begin a new series of courses online in the teaching of Universal Ethics, known as the Noahide laws. This ethical doctrine, which is at the root of the major world cultures, and has been transmitted in great detail in Jewish tradition (apart from its own specific precepts), is applicable to all current social questions. Because of their universal resonance, they promise a special efficacy across cultures. They have been recognized by the US Congress as the “bedrock of society since the dawn of civilization” and the former Governor General of Australia, Major General Michael Jeffery, has stated that “they apply to all contemporary issues”.
