Hag Sameach

[Jim Long]

"HaShem declared to you his covenant, the Ten Utterances, which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets. And the LORD directed me at that time to teach you the decrees and laws you are to follow in the Land you are crossing the Jordan to possess."
- Devarim 4:14

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the good wishes. The staff at JI had a welcome rest and meaningful Chag. Do Noahides commemorate Shavuot?

[Jim Long]

Yes, many of us do because the Seven Laws were, of course, included with the giving of the Torah at Har Sinai. According to some of the commentaries, Noahides can observe any Hag---but not in exact manner as the Jewish People. There is another aspect and that is that Noahides must be careful that we don't enact any kind of ritual or observance that could possibly lead to a new religion.

This is a fascinating subject which we all need to learn more about. I certainly respect the care and caution you are using. Thanks for that answer.
