Reading Material

Yehoshua ben Parachyah says, “Accept a teacher upon yourself; acquire a friend for yourself.”
(Pirke Avot 1:6).

Rashi suggests, that our Mishna means, that one should acquire books — they are ones best companions, and are essential for acquiring Torah knowledge.

These are the books on the Torah and the Tanach, that should be the foundation of every Noahide library.

___________
“Of all the books of the Holy Scriptures, save the Five Books of Moses themselves; the Book of Psalms, has had the greatest influence upon the development of the Jewish mind and spirit.

Even as the Torah has taught us, to acquire the proper, thoughtful appreciation for nature through G-d, and for the place of man in nature.

It also teaches us, that the foundling and the destiny of our people, is most intimately linked, with the course of the history of mankind as a whole; which is no less guided by G-d, than is our own.

It teaches us to recognize, that the purpose of our founding, and our introduction into the midst of the nations, was; that we might teach mankind; and reclaim mankind for, the knowledge and recognition of G-d; and of its own destiny and task, as assigned it by Him.

For, far beyond the confines of the Jewish people, even today, the psalms still serve to lift up to G-d, the emotions of all those who seek Him; to bring them enlightenment, consolation and strength; and to inspire them to show self-sacrificing devotion, in their conduct on earth.”
(From the introduction to The Hirsch Psalms).

Books on the Seven Laws of Noah

The Rainbow Covenant. Michael Ellias Dallen. Springdale, AR: Lightcatcher Books (2003).

This is the most popular book available about the Seven Laws of Noah, particularly for beginners.

This is not to say, that it is without problems; often the author will mix in personal opinion with halacha; such as the chapter on Dietary Laws, where he tells the Noahide, that they should avoid pork and shellfish, both of which are perfectly legal for a Noahide to eat; as well as discouraging Noahides from eating meat with milk products, saying that “the combination of the foods is fatty and gross”.
__________
The Seven Laws of Noah. Aaron Lichtenstein. New York: The Rabbi Jacob Joseph School Press, 1986.
