With Gratitude: I Welcome Bnei Noach to Yerushalayim

Published on 18 October 2026 at 17:09

To my dear Bnei Noach friends around the world,

As Yerushalayim prepares to welcome nearly 100 of your leaders and delegates from over 20 countries for the First International Congress of Noachides from November 2–6, 2026, I felt I had to sit down and write this to you.

I am writing this simply to say two words that do not feel big enough, but comes from the bottom of my heart, and from the heart of Klal Yisroel: Thank you.

You are a voice of clarity in a challenging World

Living in today's world can often feel isolating. For the Jewish people, it can sometimes bring a sense of loneliness. Yet, when we look at the global Noachide community, that loneliness completely vanishes. You have voluntarily chosen a path of immense moral clarity. Without any expectation of reward, and often in the face of misunderstanding from your own local communities or families, you have chosen to connect your hearts to HaShem and stand with the Jewish people, and commited yourself to the universal Seven Laws of Noach.

Your commitment is literally a breathtaking fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

The Fulfillment of Zechariah's Vision

Thousands of years ago, the navi Zechariah saw a beautiful spiritual awakening among the nations of the world. He wrote:

כה אמר ה'  צבאות, בימים ההמה אשר יחזִיקוּ עשרה אנשִים מכל לשנות הגּויִם, והחזיקוּ בכנף איש יהוּדי לאמר: נלכה עמכם, כי שמענוּ אלֹהים עמכם

"So says Hashem of Hosts: In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying: 'We will go with you, for we have heard that G-d is with you.'"- Zechariah 8:23

 

When you travel from six different continents to gather at the Seven Arches Hotel on the Mount of Olives,the very landscape embedded in Zechariah’s final prophecies, you are breathing life into those ancient words. By seeking the truth of the Torah from Yerushalayim, you are showing the world what true, universal solidarity looks like.

A Message from the Heart of Klal Yisroel

When you walk through the doors of the President’s Residence (Beis HaNasi) this November to sign your historic founding charter, please know that you carry the love, respect, and deep gratitude of so many of us. For centuries, our nation were davening to see the day when humanity would unite in acknowledgment of the one true G-d. Your presence proves that the light of the Torah is being received.

Thank you for your unwavering courage. Thank you for your love for the Land and the Jewish people. Thank you for building families and communities rooted in Divine Mishpatim, Chesed, and Emes.

You are a vital part of the beautiful, ultimate heartbeat of humanity. As you make this historic pilgrimage, know that our doors, our hearts, and our davening are wide open to you.

Welcome to Yerushalayim. May this Congress be just the beginning of a beautiful new chapter for us all.

 

With deep respect and gratitude,

Elisheva Leah bas Chana
