With the Aid of Heaven

Before me came the man of action and doer of deeds, great deeds for the sake of the Torah and Testimony, beloved of our friends and holy congregations, who has worked for years in the field of spreading Torah and Judaism among the holy People of Israel in the holy Land and abroad — it is he, the Rabbi Michael Shelomo Bar-Ron shlit"a from the city of Beit Shemesh, may He send your help through holiness, head and founder of the institutions "Ohel Moshe Lema`an Torath Moshe" — for the purpose of spreading the Torah of our master the RaMBaM and his directives.

And in his hand is a compilation of writings, which brings together — with good reasoning and wisdom — concepts of the "Seven Laws of the Descendants of Noah" for the pious of the nations of the world, and it shall be called — for so it is indeed — "The Guide for the Children of Noah" ["Guide for the Noahide"]. My eyes have seen them, and I have found that he succeeded through hard work in clarifying the concepts to their details, for they are many. And behold, I have only the words of the RaMBaM of blessed memory (Laws of Kings ch.8, law 10) [on which to rely] who wrote about this — may his memory be for a blessing: "And thus Moses commanded by the mouth of the Almighty, to bring all of those who come into the world to accept the Laws that Noah was Commanded." And his opinion has since been clarified by his commentators [to his work], that this was for when they were under our authority (and in the days of the Messiah). However, those who study [the teachings] will find in them accurate words that cover the heart of the matter.

And being that I also know it to be true — the quantity of his work and self-sacrifice to publicly sanctify the Name of Heaven through his lofty activities for HaShem and His Torah — I shall tell him: ‘Prosper and ride on in behalf of truth’, [Psalms 45:5] and my added blessing is that he merit to bring merit to the masses, and may his fountains [of teaching] spread outwards, and that the desire of HaShem will succeed in his hand.

As a supplication [lit. "of the author and signer"] to G-d of Awesome Deed, that his work be desired in Heaven, and the one who anxiously awaits the Remption of HaShem from Above, and the coing of Yinon our righteous Messiah, and the building of the Chosen House, speedily in our days, Amen
