I have a question regarding tallit and pre-conversion students, if that makes sense? I plan on going through the conversion process in the near future, but I'm unable to as I live in a small, very Christian town and I don't have the ability to communicate with any rabbis aside from online. But I do want to practice as much as possible, so I keep kosher among other things. Is it unacceptable for me to pray with a tallit?

do you think there is a suitable religion for non jew?

DISCLAIMER: it is accepted that any gentile that follows the 7 laws, is guaranteed a place in olam ha'ba. But of course your religion is yours, and you may practice what you speaks most to you with no judgment.

The Seven Laws:

Not to worship idols.

Not to curse God.

Not to commit murder.

Not to commit adultery or sexual immorality.

Not to steal.

Not to eat flesh torn from a living animal.

To establish courts of justice.

There is MUCH debate on what constitutes a righteous gentile. The opinion of Rambam reads that one shouldn't accept the commandments because they are "rational" because then one could change them as they see fit, instead one should see them as divinely given, immutable. He also states that one shouldn't create a new religion or add to the 7 Laws.

Most religions also have the issue of not regarding Torah as divine and immutable, and according to Rambam, this also prohibits one from following the laws "correctly".

Islam- Considered idolatrous? No. But according to Rambam, not in line with the 7 Laws.*

Christianity- Is idolatrous

Buddhism- Technically they do follow the laws, but only from a philosophical standpoint.

Hinduism- Regarded as idolatrous

So, Yes... and No

I think that any religion that a non-jew practices that follows the 7 laws of Noah is suitable. Personally.

*"Although almost all achronim agree with Maimonides that Islam is not idolatry, most disagree that any non-Jewish religious system is illicit by definition. Rather than being seen as a religion in itself, most authorities hold that the Seven Laws are foundation of a proper religion."

PS.

There IS a modern B'nei Noach movement that is affiliated with Chabad. I have very little knowledge on this specific movement, but I have been told that the wikipedia page is Wrong (the whole page itself kind of reads like a half-assed college sermon) about it, so try and find other sources if you do research it.

In Judaism, the Seven Laws of Noah (Hebrew: שבע מצוות בני נח‎, Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach), otherwise referred to as the Noahide Laws[1][2][3] or the Noachian Laws[1][4] (from the Hebrew pronunciation of "Noah"), are a set of imperatives which, according to the Talmud, were given by God as a binding set of universal moral laws for the "sons of Noah" – that is, all of humanity.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

According to the Jewish law, non-Jews (gentiles) are not obligated to convert to Judaism, but they are required to observe the Seven Laws of Noah to be assured of a place in the World to Come (Olam Ha-Ba), the final reward of the righteous...

The seven Noahide laws as traditionally enumerated in the Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin 56a-b and Tosefta Avodah Zarah 8:4,[3][5][11][12] are the following:[1][3][4][5][6]

Not to worship idols.

Not to curse God.

Not to commit murder.

Not to commit adultery, bestiality, or sexual immorality.

Not to steal.

Not to eat flesh torn from a living animal.

To establish courts of justice.

According to the Talmud, the seven laws were given first to Adam and subsequently to Noah.[1][2][5][13] However, the Tannaitic and Amoraitic rabbinic sages (1st-6th centuries CE) disagreed on the exact number of Noahide laws that were originally given to Adam.[2][4][5] Six of the seven laws were exegetically derived from passages in the Book of Genesis,[1][4][5][13][14] with the seventh being the establishment of courts of justice...

In the history of Christianity, the Apostolic Decree recorded in Acts 15 is commonly seen as a parallel to the Seven Laws of Noah.[2][76]

The Jewish Encyclopedia article on Paul of Tarsus states: According to Acts 13, 14, 17, 18 [...], Paul began working along the traditional Jewish line of proselytizing in the various synagogues where the proselytes of the gate [e.g., Exodus 20:9] and the Jews met; and only because he failed to win the Jews to his views, encountering strong opposition and persecution from them, did he turn to the gentile world after he had agreed at a council with the apostles at Jerusalem to admit the gentiles into the Church only as proselytes of the gate, that is, after their acceptance of the Noachian laws (Acts 15:1–31)".[78]

The article on the New Testament states: For great as was the success of Barnabas and Paul in the heathen world, the authorities in Jerusalem insisted upon circumcision as the condition of admission of members into the Church, until, on the initiative of Peter, and of James, the head of the Jerusalem church, it was agreed that acceptance of the Noachian Laws—namely, regarding avoidance of idolatry, fornication, and the eating of flesh cut from a living animal—should be demanded of the heathen desirous of entering the Church.[79]

The 18th-century rabbi Jacob Emden hypothesized that Jesus, and Paul after him, intended to convert the gentiles to the Seven Laws of Noah while calling on the Jews to keep the full Law of Moses.[73]

Jehovah's Witnesses, in forbidding blood transfusions, completely misinterpret the Acts of the Apostles:

Acts 15:21 does not apply to blood transfusions when understood in its historical and religious setting. It is not understood by the majority of Christian religions to be a binding command, nor was it understood as such by Pastor Russell. As already shown, the Noahide law on blood did not forbid eating blood, but was about showing respect when killing an animal. Blood transfusions do not involve taking life. https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/blood-transfusions.php

Seven Laws of Noah

I was reading today about the Seven Laws of Noah (Hebrew: שבע מצוות בני נח‬ Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach) which a preacher suggested was the motivation for the passage in Acts he was preaching from. (Here is the Wikipedia entry about them).

It is my understanding that as a gentile (not a Jewish person) as long as I follow these rules, I can be counted as righteous.

The 7 Laws are as follows:

Not to worship idols.

Not to curse God.

To establish courts of justice.

Not to commit murder.

Not to commit adultery or sexual immorality.

Not to steal.

Not to eat flesh torn from a living animal.

Jesus taught that to hate a person was as bad as murder. Therefore, as long as we Christians act as if we hate anyone we should not count ourselves as righteous. That would include the LGBTQ+ community, other faiths, refugees, and anyone else that it is popular to condemn in some quarters. 

Likewise, as long as we allow through inaction injustice take place we have failed to be righteous. That includes injustice against the LGBTQ+ community, other faiths, refugees, and anyone else that it is popular to condemn in some quarters.

I feel I have not done nearly enough to be counted among the righteous if that is the case. Nor has the church as a whole. As a community, I suspect that we desperately need to both repent of our unrighteous ways and stop being so complacent.
