Shliach Teaches Catholic Pupils

January 12, 2011 – 7 Shevat 5771

More than a thousand Catholic High School students from the Greater Toronto area came to Chabad Rabbi Meir Gitlin to learn.

Just in the past two months, more than a thousand Catholic High School students from all over the Greater Toronto Area have come to Chabad of Markham to learn.

Rabbi Meir Gitlin, a Shliach in Markham for over 20 years, has been following a clear directive of the Rebbe to create opportunities to teach the seven Noahide laws to non Jews. 

In his lecture, he not only discusses and explains the rational reasons and benefits of adhering to a moral code of conduct but the spiritual as well

Every few weeks or so, two or three bus loads of Catholic students line up outside the Chabad House

As they enter the building, the students place yarmulkes on their heads and enter the shul to sit quietly and respectfully as Rabbi Gitlin talks and takes questions periodically through his lecture. 

“The Rebbe instructed us to do all we can to also prepare the nations of the world for Moshiach through promoting and teaching the commandments which establish morality in the world – the Seven Noahide Laws,” the Shliach told COLlive.com. 

“In the last two months, the schools have actually been calling me for an appointment,” he added. “These groups are coming because they’re Heaven sent. It a sign of the times – Moshiach Tzieten.”

Catholic Perspective on the Proposed Jewish Response to Vatican II and the Noahide Laws: Vatican II’s Doctrinal Shifts and the Path to a Potential Vatican III

      See Home Page SevenColorsMinistry@gmail.com Catholic Perspective on the Proposed Jewish Response to Vatican II and the Noahide Laws: Vatican II’s Doctrinal Shifts and the Path to a Potential Vatican III The Noahide movement, rooted in Jewish tradition, promotes the Seven Laws of Noah as a universal moral code for non-Jews, derived from Genesis 9:1–7 and codified in the Talmud ( Sanhedrin 56a–b) and by Maimonides ( Mishneh Torah , Hilchot Melachim 9:1). These laws include a prohibition against blasphemy, which some Noahides interpret as forbidding criticism of Judaism or Jews, aligning with a broader push for interfaith harmony. A 2015 article by Marshall Breger and Jack Bemporad in The Forward suggests that some Jewish leaders seek to respond to Vatican II’s reforms with an authoritative document, potentially incorporating the Noahide Laws, to advance Jewish-Catholic dialogue. The quote states: "The Catholics have revised their understanding of the place of Jews ...

Why is a Catholic Priest translating the Chief Rabbi of Rome's Noahide messages to Christians into English?

   See Home Page SevenColorsMinistry@gmail.com Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni’s article, “Noah Walked with God: Jewish Universalism,” translated by Father Murray Watson, introduces Noahidism to Christians as a universal ethical framework, emphasizing its role in Jewish theology. Di Segni portrays Noah as a righteous but ordinary figure whose survival after the Flood makes all humanity “Noahides” (¶2). He outlines the Seven Noahide Laws—prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, theft, sexual immorality, cruelty to animals, and the establishment of courts—asserting that Gentiles can achieve salvation by following these laws, paralleling Jewish salvation through the Torah (¶3–4). He acknowledges Jewish debates over whether Christian Trinitarianism is monotheistic, suggesting some rabbis allow it for non-Jews, but stricter views may exclude Christians from salvation (¶5). Di Segni proposes “parallel salvation,” where Jews and Christians recognize each other’s paths, or a “politic...
