"While many additions were made to these laws by some of the tannaim — e.g., the prohibitions against eating the blood of a living animal, against the emasculation of animals, against sorcery, against pairing animals of different species, and against grafting trees of different kinds[7] — so that in one place thirty Noachian laws are mentioned,[8], the prevalent opinion in the Talmud is that there are only seven laws which are binding upon all mankind"

In the discussion of the Beraita listing of the seven laws, Talmud in Sanhedrin say that these are only the negative commandments - in other words there may be other positive ones.

What is the difference - if any - between emasculation and castration?

Is cutting - or tying - the tubes that carry the seeds from the testicles be included in the prohibiton? Perhaps for Bnei Noah only removal of the testicles [both? or removing even only one, leaving the other one] is prohibited? What about chemical means of emasculation? These are Halachic points which should be clarified.

I also feel that saying that others are "added" may cause people to think that Rabbis made this up. In the 39 Avot Melacha another theory is much more historical [and logical]:

The laws were known from tradition. The enumeration and listing is a later development, perhaps for memorizing purposes.

Rabbi Eliezer [who represents early traditions] "mehayaev atolada bimkom av", in other words: each transgression is independent, and the enumeration has NO halachic value.

Also with the 4 Avot Nezikin: clearly the Halachot preceded the list, and indeed the Talmud does much debating about the 4, and then goes on to say that there are other "numbers" quoted by Tanaim or early Amoraim.

Therefor the idea that these seven are only headings seems quite valid. Thus no one "added". They just added clarifications about what was covered by the "seven".

Noahide Council and Kabbalah

When will the Noahide Council become more diverse in order to better represent the religions and nations of the world?

Which "school" of Kabbalah or current Kabbalists best represent(s) the Noahide Council's position on Kabbalah?

Thank you. -- 74.128.108.214

The United Noahide Council has set a goal for itself to be broad enough to interface with all the religions and nations of the world. It also has set a goal to represent all the major halachic opinions within Judaism concerning Noahides.
The UNC is not aligned with any kabbalistic or hassidic group. Contributors to the UNC and Wikinoah include, probably in equal portions, Chabad, Breslov and Lurianic Kabbalah of the Sefardic variety. There are also non-kabbalistic contributions from Rambam, Litvish, Mizrachi and Yemenite backgrounds.
