So I'm very interested to see what your thoughts were in the book, and now that I've got the new edition I am obviously also very curious to see what you've written in the old edition (https://www.amazon.de/Light-Onto-Nations-Guide-Noahide/dp/9659222211/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=6L5IW0B8SDCM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.F3g9sNCmuf3rTK-k70fzKzBfdpOZ-snKD1x_af9uBXhpdgglB6TlcUdPmNHNJVXvqZsN63_4FfCRmVAAafGrSI-H5rA8rvgw0QM53nJzBdjvWPmyByPPNP-QZ5o2XcwEnmLajBfz7kRyrupmj5dacEX45PrKiePxEIa5gWyey3wMmV6KK7_aaBQuM8RsPV8lYZOGy-WGr0fgRAlgM0KTPWM2S42zytypoNu-EQwy4wc.kHuWCmnG08ei5IZapNsFnK6UI4FG9NYps2mfrycAy48&dib_tag=se&keywords=rabbi+moshe+bernstein&qid=1738228379&sprefix=rabbi+moshe+berenstein%2Caps%2C89&sr=8-2).
