The idea for the Council was first conceived by Rabbi Avraham Toledano. He, as well as many others, understood that [[B'nei Noah]], like [[Jews]], need a body of recognized leaders and scholars to whom they can turn for guidance in their study and observance of [[Torah]], and who can help to unify the communities around the world. To this end, suitable candidates were sought out who would be willing and able to establish such a body. These nominees were brought together on Labor day Weekend at the house of Vendyl Jones in Grand Prairie, Texas mid-2005 by the personal invitation of, and under the supervision of Rabbi Michael Shlomo Bar-Ron (an authorized representative of the developing [[Sanhedrin]]), forming a proto-Noahide Council. The founding proto-Council members then appeared before the developing Sanhedrin, in Jerusalem, on January 9, 2006 (9 Tevet, 5766), and upon stating a special pledge of allegiance to the [[Noahide Covenant]]<ref>[[http://www.highcouncilofbneinoah.com/resources/Articles/A_Brief_Introduction_to_the_Noahide_Covenant.aspx A Brief Introduction to the Noahide Covenant]]</ref>, they were granted official recognition as the first "High Council of B'nei Noah" by the rabbinical court.
