Can non-Jews observe Shabbat? In this lecture Rabbi Michael Skobac explores what Jewish law and traditional sources teach about the role of Shabbat (The Jewish Sabbath) for Jews and non-Jews.
Shabbat is one of the most recognizable commandments in the Bible – but is it intended for all humanity, or specifically for the Jewish people?
Judaism teaches that all people are created in God’s image and have a sacred role in His plan. Yet while the Torah commands Jews to observe the Sabbath, Jewish tradition maintains that non-Jews are not obligated to keep Shabbat. Why is that the case? And is there any problem with a non-Jew choosing to observe it?
In this thought-provoking presentation, discover the Torah’s perspective on the unique covenant of Israel, the Seven Noahide Laws, and the deeper meaning of the Sabbath in Jewish thought.
