The Noahide Laws: God's Commandment to the World
with Rabbi Efraim Palvanov
Nostra aetate (from Latin: "In our time") is the Declaration on the Relation of the Church with Non-Christian Religions of the Second Vatican Council. Passed by a vote of 2,221 to 88 of the assembled bishops, this declaration was promulgated on 28 October 1965 by Pope Paul VI. It is the shortest of the 16 final documents of the Council and "the first in Catholic history to focus on the relationship that Catholics have with Jews." It "reveres the work of God in all the major faith traditions." It begins by stating its purpose of reflecting on what humankind has in common in these times when people are being drawn closer together.
A careful reading of Genesis reveals a set of laws commanded by God to
Adam and Eve, and then again to a renewed world at the time of Noah. This
simple set of laws is the foundation for all of mankind, and for the
establishment of a just, moral, and Godly society. Find out what the Noahide
Laws are, and how they can transform your life.
Event is co-sponsored by Rev. George Balasko and Rabbi Joseph P. Schonberger.
