Question
Are Noachides required and/or encouraged to move to Israel?
Answer
Noachides are definitely not required nor encouraged to live in
Israel. 99.8% of the world is not Jewish and is meant to live and
enjoy the great expanse of the vast and beautiful world which G-d
created. “When G-d divided to the nations their inheritance… He set
the boundaries of the nations according to the size of Israel” (Deut.
32, 8). The land of Israel was promised to the nation of Israel, where
we are meant to be concentrated and not assimilate with others, thus
enabling us to contribute our special heritage universally without
dilution. On the other hand, we welcome you with open arms to visit
whenever you wish, that we will merit to see Jerusalem as the center
of prayer and G-dly morality for all of mankind (Isaiah 2, 2; 56, 7).
With Blessings from Israel,
Rabbi Ari Shvat
