Israeli President Isaac Herzog addressed the first International Noahide Congress
Jerusalem is the setting for a historic event for the international Noahide movement. Israeli President Isaac Herzog addressed the first International Noahide Congress today, organized by Brit Olam and taking place from November 2 to 6, bringing together community leaders and representatives of Noahide communities from six continents.
Over five days, men and women who have embraced the Seven Laws of Noah are gathering in Israel's capital for a program of study, fellowship, dialogue, and, above all, institution-building.
More than an international conference, the congress represents a founding moment: for the first time, Noahide communities scattered around the world are coming together with the purpose of establishing a shared international infrastructure capable of strengthening their identity, organization, and cooperation among different community networks.
The International Noahide Congress
A Milestone in the Global Organization of the Noahide Movement
Among the gathering's main objectives is the creation of permanent mechanisms for international coordination, including the establishment of an international Beit Din, a rabbinical court intended to become part of the movement's institutional framework, and the drafting and signing of a Founding Charter, a document intended to establish principles and a basis for cooperation among participating communities.
The initiative seeks to address a historic challenge: transforming an already existing reality — Noahide communities in different countries and across multiple continents — into a more structured international network, with institutional foundations and shared objectives.
Reception at the Residence of the President of Israel
One of the congress's most significant institutional moments is the reception of the delegates at the Residence of the President of Israel.
Isaac Herzog's address lends particular significance to the meeting, placing Jerusalem at the center of an international event involving representatives of communities united by their commitment to the universal principles of the Seven Laws of Noah.
