Nearly 100 Noahide leaders from 20 countries across six continents will gather in Jerusalem on November 2–6, 2026, with the blessings of Israel’s Chief Rabbis and a reception at the Residence of the President of Israel.
JERUSALEM, ISRAEL — For the first time in history, Noahides — non-Jews who order their lives by the Seven Laws of Noah — will convene in a single international congress. Nearly 100 Noahide leaders from 20 countries across six continents will gather in Jerusalem on November 2–6, 2026, at the Seven Arches Hotel on the Mount of Olives, overlooking the Old City, for the First International Congress of Noahides.
The Congress is convened by Brit Olam, the World Noahide Center, under the presidency of Rabbi Oury Cherki. It carries the blessings of the Chief Rabbis of Israel and the support of ministers in the Israeli government, and will include an official reception at Beit HaNasi, the Residence of the President of Israel in Jerusalem.
The Noahide movement encompasses individuals and communities across North America, the United Kingdom, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Until now, most Noahide communities have connected primarily through books, online study, and local circles. The Jerusalem Congress will be the first time the movement gathers face-to-face on a global scale. The gathering follows three years of war between Israel and Iran and a rise in reported antisemitic incidents in multiple countries.
“For two thousand years, the prophets’ vision of the nations turning toward Jerusalem remained a promise on the page. This Congress is the moment the page opens. Men and women from every continent, who took upon themselves the covenant of Noah out of free conviction, are coming to the city where that covenant was always destined to be renewed. This is the opportunity to join themselves to the people of Israel, whose blessing flows to all who take part in it, and to take a share in the next step of history,” said Rabbi Oury Cherki, President of Brit Olam.
Over five days, participants will take part in study sessions with leading rabbis, working groups on community building, and the signing of a Founding Charter and the establishment of the first international Beit Din for Noahide affairs. Delegations are expected from six continents.
“This Congress is built for the person who has been studying alone for years as much as for established communities. You arrive as an individual; you leave as part of a people-wide structure that knows your name,” said Chaim Goldberg, CEO of Brit Olam.
Early registration closes on July 31, 2026. Program, speakers, and registration details are available at https://brit-olam.org/congress/.
