Question
Is Noahidism a branch of Judaism?
Answer
Judaism is not just our religion but also our nation: the People of Israel. Accordingly, only members of the Jewish nation are part of Judaism. On the other hand, even though the role and the observance of Noahides is very important and with all due respect that they truly deserve, they are not part of the Jewish nation or Judaism, unless they wish to convert.
