The Torah demands different things from Jews and Bnei Noach.

I recently read that according to the Zohar, when a non-Jew learns Torah in the same manner and depth that a Jews is obligated to learn Torah, great destruction is wrought - both on the Ben/Bat Noach’s soul and on the World as a whole.

Just as there are natural boundaries in the physical world, there are natural boundaries in the spiritual world.

We cannot be subjective and say, “That doesn’t jive with me - I won’t listen to that.” That’s like saying, “Gravity doesn’t jive with me” and then jumping off a bridge.

Or as one of my friends said in an essay on avodah zarah (idol worship):

[A fence] keeps people on the outside from what they are trying to obtain on the inside. But on the other hand, a fence can be used to allow one to go further, allowing one to get as close to the edge as possible without falling over.

I will try my best to continue posting within the bounds of my current understanding of which type of Torah material will not damage the souls of Bnei Noach. There is virtually no limit to what can be learned and studied from within these bounds of Torah - this is G-d’s Torah!

But I do not want to be a stumbling block for the Bnei Noah who strive to live according to G-d’s Will and Wisdom — that is to say, according to Hashem’s Torah.

Excerpt from “The Path of the Righteous Gentile” (p. 41-42). The parts in square brackets [ ] are insertions for additional clarification:
(source: AskNoah.org).  The following are forbidden:¹

c. Studying those parts [and branches] of the Torah [specifically parts of the Oral Torah] that do not apply to [or enhance] the Noahides’ service of [and belief in] G-d.

(Note: A prime purpose of the Seven Universal Laws is to teach the Children of Noah about the Oneness of G-d, and therefore those parts of Torah that pertain to this knowledge [including many Chassidic teachings] are permissible for him to study. This includes the entirety of the twenty-four books of the Hebrew Scriptures. Also, the study of any part of the Torah that brings one to greater knowledge concerning the performance of the Seven Noahide Commandments is permissible. But Talmudic [study], or [in-depth] Halakhic [i.e. Torah law] study of subjects that pertain exclusively to the Jew’s service of G-d is forbidden [for Noahides].)

[In Mishneh Torah, Laws of Kings, Chap. 10, Maimonides (the "Rambam") states that a Gentile is in general forbidden to be "osek ba'Torah" - which means to delve and strive into Torah learning in the manner that a Jew is commanded. A Gentile is however allowed to be "osek ba'Torah" in matters which relate to the Seven Noahide Commandments, but he is not commanded to do so.

Therefore it is very important to have competent Rabbinic guidance in choosing what to study, if one goes beyond the permissible text of the 24 Books of the Hebrew Bible and their basic traditional commentaries/explanations.]

Much blessings to everyone,
