I am trying to observe the 7 Noahide commandments, as a ger toshav. However, I am struggling to find resources that apply to a ger toshav and can only find resources that apply to Jews. What resources should I look for and to what extent are resources for Jews applicable?

1Are you aware that the mainstream view nowadays in Judaism is that it is currently impossible to attain the status of Get Toshav? You may be having trouble finding resources because there isn't a target audience– Double AA ♦Nov 14, 2017 at 22:13

@user16 so why do you expect any resources? This seems like a silly question– Double AA ♦Nov 14, 2017 at 22:29

In the same way that Jews are preparing for the coming of Mashiach (e.g., in learning the laws of the temple and of sacrifices which are not yet re-activated), non-Jews should learn the Noahide laws.
I am aware of two quality books that can help non-Jews do so
- The Path of the Righteous Gentile: An Introduction to the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah by Chaim Clorfene and Yaakov Rogalsky (amazon)
- Sefer Sheva Mitzvot HaShem by R Moshe Weiner, in English: The Divine Code (here), see also here on MY regarding approbations
In addition, see the website of Brit Olam, the Noahide World Center.
