Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe, Orach Chayim 2:25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>As to whether a Ben Noach is obligated in prayer, clearly, he is not, because prayer is not enumerated among the mitzvot that Bnei Noach were commanded, as listed in TB Sanhedrin 56a, nor is it mentioned by the Rambam in Chapter 9 of the Laws of Kings, where he lists the mitzvot that Bnei Noach are required to perform. &nbsp; Regarding whether a Ben Noach has fulfilled a mitzvah when he or she prays to the Blessed L-rd, it appears as such, as it is expressed in the verse (Isaiah 56:7), \u201cfor My House will be a house of prayer for all of the peoples\u201d, and, as Rashi explains there, \u201cand not only for Israel alone, but for <em>gerim <\/em>as well\u201d. If, by <em>\u201cgerim\u201d<\/em>, Rashi implies people who have converted, then it would mean that the Temple is only for Israel (since converts are considered \u201cIsrael\u201d). Therefore, the verse must be referring to non-Jews who have not converted but are fulfilling the commandments incumbent upon Bnei Noach. If so, here is explicit proof that even though they are exempt from the commandment to pray, when they do pray, they earn the reward of a mitzvah. &nbsp; )Regarding public prayer, e.g., in schools), if the <em>nusach<\/em> (text) was composed by priests, even if there is not even a hint to their faith, one should not say it, whether by himself or with non-Jews, since the text likely accords with their faith. &nbsp; A Ben Noach, who is considered as \u201cone who is not commanded but nevertheless performs a mitzvah\u201d when he or she prays, if he or she does so in thought but does not verbalize the prayer (which would prevent a Jew from fulfilling the mitzvah or prayer), he or she does not receive reward.<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">\u05dc\u05e2\u05e0\u05d9\u05d9\u05df \u05d1\u05df \u05e0\u05d7 \u05d0\u05dd \u05de\u05d7\u05d5\u05d9\u05d9\u05d1 \u05d1\u05ea\u05e4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d4 \u05e4\u05e9\u05d5\u05d8 \u05e9\u05d0\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5 \u05de\u05d7\u05d5\u05d9\u05d9\u05d1, \u05d3\u05d0\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5 \u05e0\u05de\u05e0\u05d5 \u05d1\u05de\u05e6\u05d5\u05ea \u05d3\u05e0\u05e6\u05d8\u05d5\u05d5 \u05d1\u05e0\u05d9 \u05e0\u05d7 \u05d1\u05e1\u05e0\u05d4\u05d3\u05e8\u05d9\u05df \u05e0&#8221;\u05d5\/\u05d1 \u05d5\u05db\u05df \u05dc\u05d0 \u05d4\u05d5\u05d6\u05db\u05e8 \u05d1\u05e8\u05de\u05d1&#8221;\u05dd \u05e4&#8221;\u05d8 \u05de\u05d4\u05dc\u05db\u05d5\u05ea \u05de\u05dc\u05db\u05d9\u05dd \u05e9\u05d7\u05d5\u05e9\u05d1 \u05de\u05e6\u05d5\u05ea \u05e9\u05e0\u05e6\u05d8\u05d5\u05d5 \u05d1\u05e0\u05d9 \u05e0\u05d7. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \u05dc\u05e2\u05e0\u05d9\u05d9\u05df \u05d0\u05dd \u05d9\u05e9 \u05dc\u05d5 \u05de\u05e6\u05d5\u05d4 \u05db\u05e9\u05de\u05ea\u05e4\u05dc\u05dc \u05dc\u05d4\u05e9\u05d9&#8221;\u05ea \u05e0\u05e8\u05d0\u05d4 \u05e9\u05d9\u05e9 \u05dc\u05d5 \u05db\u05de\u05e4\u05d5\u05e8\u05e9 \u05d1\u05e7\u05e8\u05d0 \u05d1\u05d9\u05e9\u05e2\u05d9\u05d4 (\u05e0&#8221;\u05d5\/\u05d6&#8217;) \u05db\u05d9 \u05d1\u05ea\u05d9 \u05d1\u05d9\u05ea \u05ea\u05e4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d4 \u05dc\u05db\u05dc \u05d4\u05e2\u05de\u05d9\u05dd&nbsp; \u05d5\u05e4\u05d9\u05e8\u05e9&#8221;\u05d9 \u05e9\u05dd \u05d5\u05dc\u05d0 \u05dc\u05d9\u05e9\u05e8\u05d0\u05dc \u05dc\u05d1\u05d3\u05dd, \u05d5\u05d0\u05dd \u05d4\u05d5\u05d0 \u05dc\u05d2\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05e9\u05d4\u05ea\u05d2\u05d9\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5 \u05d4\u05d0 \u05d4\u05dd \u05db\u05d9\u05e9\u05e8\u05d0\u05dc \u05de\u05de\u05e9 \u05d5\u05d6\u05d4 \u05d4\u05d9\u05d4 \u05e0\u05e7\u05e8\u05d0 \u05dc\u05d9\u05e9\u05e8\u05d0\u05dc \u05dc\u05d1\u05d3\u05dd \u05dc\u05db\u05df \u05d1\u05e8\u05d5\u05e8 \u05e9\u05e7\u05d0\u05d9 \u05d2\u05dd \u05dc\u05d1\u05e0\u05d9 \u05e0\u05db\u05e8 \u05e9\u05dc\u05d0 \u05e0\u05ea\u05d2\u05d9\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5 \u05d5\u05de\u05e7\u05d9\u05d9\u05de\u05d9\u05dd&nbsp; \u05e8\u05e7 \u05de\u05e6\u05d5\u05ea \u05e9\u05d4\u05d9\u05d9\u05d1\u05d9\u05df \u05d1\u05e0\u05d9 \u05e0\u05d7, \u05d5\u05d0&#8221;\u05db \u05d4\u05e8\u05d9 \u05d4\u05d5\u05d0 \u05db\u05de\u05e4\u05d5\u05e8\u05e9 \u05e9\u05d0\u05e3 \u05e9\u05e4\u05d8\u05d5\u05e8\u05d9\u05df \u05de\u05ea\u05e4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d4 \u05de&#8221;\u05de \u05db\u05e9\u05de\u05ea\u05e4\u05dc\u05dc\u05d9\u05df \u05dc\u05d4\u05e9\u05d9&#8221;\u05ea \u05ea\u05e2\u05d5\u05e9\u05d9\u05df \u05de\u05e6\u05d5\u05d4. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \u05d0\u05dd \u05e0\u05d9\u05e1\u05d7 \u05d4\u05ea\u05e4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d4 \u05d7\u05d1\u05e8\u05d5 \u05db\u05d5\u05de\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05e9\u05d0\u05e3 \u05e9\u05d0\u05d9\u05df \u05d1\u05d4 \u05e9\u05d5\u05dd \u05e8\u05de\u05d6 \u05e0\u05d9\u05e8 \u05dc\u05d0\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05ea\u05dd \u05d0\u05d9\u05df \u05dc\u05d9\u05e9\u05e8\u05d0\u05dc \u05dc\u05d0\u05d5\u05de\u05e8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05e3 \u05d1\u05e2\u05e6\u05de\u05d5 \u05d5\u05db&#8221;\u05db \u05e2\u05dd \u05d4\u05e0\u05db\u05e8\u05d9 \u05d3\u05de\u05de\u05d9\u05dc\u05d0 \u05d4\u05d5\u05d9 \u05e0\u05d5\u05e1\u05d7 \u05d6\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d0\u05de\u05d5\u05e0\u05ea\u05dd. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \u05d1\u05d1\u05df \u05e0\u05d7 \u05e9\u05d9\u05e9 \u05dc\u05d5 \u05e9\u05db\u05e8 \u05db\u05d0\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5 \u05de\u05e6\u05d5\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d5\u05e2\u05d5\u05e9\u05d4 \u05db\u05e9\u05de\u05ea\u05e4\u05dc\u05dc \u05d0\u05d9\u05da \u05d4\u05d5\u05d0 \u05db\u05e9\u05de\u05ea\u05e4\u05dc\u05dc \u05d1\u05d4\u05e8\u05d4\u05d5\u05e8 \u05e9\u05d9\u05e9\u05e8\u05d0\u05dc \u05d0\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5 \u05d9\u05d5\u05e6\u05d0 \u05db\u05d5&#8217; \u05e4\u05e9\u05d5\u05d8 \u05e9\u05db\u05d9\u05d5\u05df \u05e9\u05d0\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5 \u05e2\u05d5\u05e9\u05d4 \u05db\u05d3\u05d9\u05df \u05d4\u05de\u05e6\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d2\u05dd \u05d1\u05df \u05e0\u05d7 \u05dc\u05d0 \u05d9\u05e7\u05d1\u05dc \u05e9\u05d5\u05dd \u05e9\u05db\u05e8.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>III Intellectual Obligation: Prayer and Blessings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.
