About this book
Seven Gates of Righteous Knowledge is the guide to spiritual growth and peace as a Righteous Gentile. It outlines the objective moral foundation for a closer personal relationship with our Creator. Its insights from classic texts (Hebrew Bible, Talmud, Midrash, Mishneh Torah, and Chassidic insights) provide enlightenment about the direct path to advancement in spiritual standing.
Rather than being part of a specific religion, this is knowledge that was meant for all people since Biblical times. It presents fundamental principles and traits, attitudes, actions, and life goals that reveal how we are created in the image of God. It is a highly valuable resource on its own, or as a study companion for those who accept and follow the Seven Noahide Commandments that were given by God for Gentiles of all nationalities and cultures.
This was inspired by Sefer HaMadah (The Book of Knowledge), the first volume of Mishneh Torah by Maimonides (Rambam). Sefer HaMadah explains Torah’s path to true faith-based knowledge. What has been lacking until now is a parallel book written for the fundamentals of faith that apply for Gentiles, because much of Rambam’s work applies only for Jews.
The essential points, and much of the text, are taken from universal parts of Sefer HaMadah. We have also added background information and explanations to produce a book that’s intended for those who are, or who want to become, righteous and pious Gentiles in G-d’s eyes.
We have included many of the proper and righteous outlooks, character traits, and goals for life that will provide guidance for Gentiles who are searching for an authentic personal connection with the One True G-d. In summary, this book presents the proper views and behaviors for Righteous Gentiles of any nationality or culture, and it serves as a milestone for the Noahide movement.

I would like to take this time in thanking you for your book with which I have just finished reading: Seven Gates of Righteous Knowledge. Every page inspired by HaShem, blessed be He. It was the most easy readable book flowing with all the knowledge of one Holy One. A simple layout, concise, practical and a key to reading of The Divine Code. I can see that both books work with each other.

Important instruction.

APPENDIX: Some Recommended Prayers for Noahides
Feedback from a Noahide on the U.S. East Coast: I have just read your book, “Seven Gates of Righteous Knowledge.” What a wonderful book! It has moved me deeply. Your new book will be a great help to us all.
Feedback from one of our inmate students: “Seven Gates of Righteous Knowledge” is one of my favorite books. I donated my last copy to the chapel library at my previous facility, so I’m very happy to have another. I got my new copy just this morning and have already loaned it out, because so many need that information. (I look forward to reading it again too) Your work has changed my life, and I thank you all so much! Honestly, thank you.
Feedback from another Gentile inmate: I am so indebted to you. The “Seven Gates”, I think, may be the most beautiful, and meaningful book I have ever read. Thank you so much. I can’t put it down. It challenges me to ask myself: IF – WHEN – BECAUSE. If I should think, speak, or do a certain thing, when would be the appropriate time to do it? Because, what is my reason for doing it? I truly believe that G-d’s wish for me is to be observant of the Noahide Code.
