Ger Toshav and the Two Law Systems

Ger Toshav and the Two Law Systems

There are two distinct law systems within the Torah: the Din Israel (the Israel Law system) and the Din Ben Noach (the law system of the nations). The Din Ben Noach is incumbent on all the citizens of the world who are not of Israel. This is a very harsh and judgmental system that connects to the Name Elohim and the religions of the world seems to know this because they all have intermediaries who stand between God and themselves. The name Elohim is associated with harsh judgment. All the nations of the world (including all religions) are connected to the Name Elohim and not to the Name YHVH. This happens by default.

The Din Israel system, on the other hand, is connected to the Name Y-H-V-H and is a law system of absolute mercy. It operates on the principle of mercy and applies to Israel and gerim who have made kabbalah.

The Din Ben Noach system has the Sheva Mitzvot Bnei Noach as a set of universal laws. These laws  are incumbent upon all human beings, knowingly or unknowingly. These laws are based on the teachings of the Torah and are considered to be the minimum moral standards that are required of all human beings. These were the laws that were transgressed that brought upon mankind the consequence of the Mabul (the Flood). The Din Ben Noach law system is based on harsh judgment, and transgressors of the law will receive the death penalty with only one witness being necessary. This obviously doesn't apply in our reality today as there is no legitimate court that exists today that can enforce these laws.

Gerim who have made kabbalah and thereby accepted the yoke of Torah are subject to the Din Israel system just like someone from the congregation of Israel. Gerim (full converts and Non converts) are part of the fourth house namely the House of Gerim. The difference between the non convert ger and full convert ger is that the full convert has permission to enter the Holy House of Israel for the sake of marraige whereas the non convert ger doesnt have this permission. This emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and offers a path for non-Jewish individuals to participate in Torah spiritual life without having to convert to Judaism.

The ger toshav path is it true spiritual path. The full conversion path is more of a technical path than a spiritual path as it is exclusively in order to have Jewish offspring.

Torah emphasizes the importance of proper behavior and self-improvement and encourages individuals to strive for a deeper connection with God through  Torah study, tefilah (prayer) and mazal. The ideal is for all humanity to live under the Din Israel system, which is open for anyone no matter creed or nation, where the gerim are treated exactly the same as the Israel.

The Purpose of this Blog

The purpose of this blog is ultimately the development of a book that I am planning to write and publish. The title is Kosher Universal Spirituality, Connecting directly to the God of Israel without converting to Judaism and without Religion I believe that there is a great need for the clarification of this topic for the benefit of the people from the nations as well as Jewish people because organized religion together with the internet has caused for much confusion on this topic. The idea is to attempt to undo this confusion and to help people discover their own path of kosher universal spirituality with no conversion or religion required.  Kosher in the title has nothing to do with Kashrut, but refers to the authentic legitimate spiritual path that is in the Torah and has been there since the creation of Adam and before. You are welcome to explore this journey with me. Comments and constructive criticism are welcomed

Introduction - Ger as the Kosher Universal Spiritual Path

Introduction to Ger as the Kosher Universal Path Ger, (poorly and wrongly translated as resident stranger), is an extremely important concept in Torah, as it emphasizes the inclusivity of this spiritual path. Ger is the individual who has made Kabbalah and committed to the yoke of Torah, joining him/herself to God, attaching him/herself to Israel, and rejecting all forms of intermediaries or shituf. This concept of Ger IS the Kosher Universal Path of the Torah-based spirituality that offers a path to connect with the Divine that is accessible and relevant to people of all nations, without the need to convert and without religion. The term "kosher" in this context does not refer to dietary laws (Kashrut), but to a spiritual path that is authentic and true to the teachings of the Torah. The term "Universal" implies that this path is open to all people, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, or background. According to Torah, God chose Israel to be a light unto the n...

What humanity is truly in need of is Liberation from Religious Dependence

In the quagmire of human existence, religion has long been portrayed as a guiding light, offering solace, purpose, and community. Yet, beneath its veneer of sanctity lies a profound paradox—a trap ensnaring the minds of millions, stifling the very essence of independent thought. From the cradle, we are indoctrinated into belief systems that demand obedience and blind faith. We are taught to relinquish our autonomy, surrendering our critical faculties at the altar of tradition. But what if we dared to question? What if we dared to challenge the shackles of religious dependency? Religion, in its essence, is a construct of control—a tool wielded by the powerful to subjugate the masses. It preaches obedience and conformity, promising salvation in exchange for unwavering allegiance. Yet, beneath its façade of righteousness lies a sinister agenda—a suppression of individuality, a stifling of dissent. It is time to break free from the chains that bind us—to reclaim our autonomy, our sovereign...
