Jerusalem: first international congress of Noahides, non-Jews who follow the "laws of Noah," announced for November 2–6, 2026

What is reported

From November 2 to 6, 2026, the Israeli association Brit Olam is gathering in Jerusalem, at the Seven Arches hotel on the Mount of Olives, the first international congress of Noahides: non-Jews who follow the seven "laws of Noah," moral rules that Jewish tradition holds were given to all humanity. According to the organizers and a media outlet that relays them: a founding charter, a code of life in fourteen chapters and a prayer book; a first international rabbinic court, chaired by Rabbi Oury Cherki; six councils, one per continent; a visit to Shiloh, "where the Mishkan once stood," the tent of worship before the Temple, and a reception at the residence of Israel's president. Their page quotes Zechariah 2 (verse 11 in English Bibles): "Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day," and adds "This day has come." According to Israel365 News, their manifesto also quotes Isaiah 56:7, "my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples": a verse about the Temple, which in the same sentence speaks of "sacrifices" accepted "on my altar." The congress has not yet taken place: the above is an announced program. Most of the details come from the organizers or from a media outlet favorable to them.
