Should a Noahide Wish Shabbat Shalom?
To Jews or to Each Other?
A question that comes up frequently is whether Noahide may wish each other Shabbat Shalom, or whether it is not appropriate.
Alternatives are thought of as, have a nice week-end, or possible Yom Shevi'i Shalom - a Good Seventh Day or a Blessed Seventh Day. In this video, a surprisingly practical answer.
Rabbi Moshe Perets is the Founder and Executive Director of NoahideAcademy.org, the world’s largest Noahide informational website. He accomplished his Rabbinical Studies at the Chabad Yeshiva and his medical studies at the University of Louvain in Brussels, Belgium.

Great answer, thank you!! I always intuitively just said Shalom and didn't realize that was "correct" haha. The only sane way to explain how many Jewish customs I independently arrived at in pursuit of Heavenly Father's natural laws - is that Judaism has a strong lineage rooted in antediluvian reality and understanding, and/or some sort of past life/soul level thing (this is just one of hundreds of examples, many are more 'coincidental' than just the Shalom thing). Great video thank you.
Shalom Rabbi Perets,
Please advise if it’s acceptable for a Noahide to say “Shalom” upon greeting someone.
Thnx
