According to many authorities<ref>Maimonides holds that the declaration is only required for a Ger Toshav. He holds that Ger Toshav only applies to those who live in Israel under a sovereign Jewish (Torah) State, others disagree. According to many authorities, there is value to the declaration of a person before a rabbinical court even outside of Israel.</ref>, there is value to the declaration of a person before a rabbinical court — ''beis din '' — that he or she accept and takes upon himself or herself the mitzvos of Bnei Noah.
