Question

Is there a way to partcipate in Jewish religious life without actually converting?

Answer

You are not alone in your desire to practice Judaism even though you are not Jewish.

There are those who call themselves the "Benei Noach" or the Noachide followers. They subscribe to the basic laws given to Noah as described in the Book of Genesis, but do not practice Christianity.

Check out Noachide laws and Noachide followers online - there are multiple links from Google. In addition, see the newer Encyclopedia Judaica in the library or the older jewishencyclopedia.com online.

 Best Wishes,

Rabbi Barry Dov Lerner
Foundation for Family Education (FFFE)
