Teaching Non Jews

Question

How much can one teach to a non jew?
is it only the 7 noahide laws?
is there a place I can find all this exactly?

In my past history there were 3 non jews that really helped me, if the portion in Gan Eden is different, I feel a natural inclination to bring them to the best life possible

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

Unless a non-Jew is in the process of converting, one should not teach non-Jews Torah. The Torah was a gift to the Jewish people only.

But yes, a non-Jew may be taught what he needs to knpw with regard to the Noahide laws, and encoureged to live by them accordingly. Any non-Jew who follows the Noahide laws is assured a place in the World to Come.
