Understanding Noahide Laws (for Christians)

What are the “Noahide Laws”, and where do they really come from? Find out in this class as we take a deep dive into the poorly-understood Noahide Laws and dispel the many myths and misconceptions about them. Plus: understanding the relationship between Judaism and Christianity, the “Oral Torah”, and the global Jewish organization Chabad; demystifying gematria (Jewish numerology), and exploring the role of Jews in the founding of America.

This class was delivered back in July of 2025 at the Villa Maria Education and Spirituality Center. This is a yearly event started by Rev. George Balasko to promote interfaith dialogue and help Christians learn more about Jews. Past speakers have included Rabbi Benjamin Blech and Professor Lawrence H. Schiffman. For a more detailed analysis of the Noahide Laws and a derivation and explanation of all thirty sub-points, see the three-part series of videos here.

Plus: Did Roman Emperor Nero convert to Judaism? Where does 666 really come from? And who was the greatest of Greek philosophers, Oenomaus of Gadara?

Judaism vs. Zoroastrianism, Part 2: Fire

Is there a spiritual explanation for the growing popularity of psychedelics and entheogens like ayuahasca, DMT, iboga, and psilocybin? Might such substances have been used by the ancient Hebrew prophets and high priests? Were they also used by the Zoroastrian magi, and are there overlaps between the two? What are the true origins of lighting Chanukah candles and Shabbat candles, and might these practices have been influenced by Zoroastrian fire rituals? Why do Jews look at a reflection of fire on their fingernails during the Havdalah ceremony following the conclusion of the Sabbath? And what does it all have to do with Adam’s mystical powers in the Garden of Eden?
