Director Michael Wrote:You could create your own schedule for completing the entire Tanakh (the 24 Books of the Hebrew Bible) every 3 years, every year, etc., or even every month.I understand that Bereishit [the Book of Genesis] deals with people who were not yet Jews, so to say, and that therefore it is relevant for all human beings, whereas the following four books [Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy] deal primarily with the Jewish people.
Are those four books nevertheless relevant for B'nei Noah? Is it OK to study the Pshat [simple meaning] of those books? And furthermore, are the Haftaros [selections from the books of the Prophets] of the Book of Bereishit relevant and allowed to be studied by B'nei Noah? I am very interested in the historic events, but I am unsure as to how far I should read those texts.
