If humanity played by these rules, we'd be better off..

Christians also have obligations for charity, decency and helping their fellow man.. but it falls apart when racism, greed or politics become paramount.

There are 613 mitzvot both negative and positive, which are based on the ten commandments, which was given to the Jews on mount sinai non Jews were never commanded to keep them, what non jews are command are the 7 noahide laws

The Seven Laws of Noah (Hebrew: שבע מצוות בני נח‬ Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach), also referred to as the Noahide Laws or the Noachide Laws (from the Hebrew pronunciation of "Noah"), are a set of imperatives which, according to the Talmud, were given by God as a binding set of laws for the "children of Noah" – that is, all of humanity.

Accordingly, non-Jews who adhere to these laws because they were given by Moses are said to be followers of Noahidism and regarded as righteous gentiles, who are assured of a place in Olam Haba (עולם הבא‬, the world to come), the final reward of the righteous.

The Seven Laws of Noah include prohibitions against worshipping idols, cursing God, murder, adultery and sexual immorality, theft, eating flesh torn from a living animal, as well as the obligation to establish courts of justice.

My experience of Jewish people has been somewhat weird. I didn't know any in KSA.. At my girl's boarding school most all the Jewish girl's were day students and quite pretty Sephardim , but I didn't know them other than a spoiled rotten Jewish roommate from Miami who mailed her laundry home airmail.

Then in Switzerland the Jewish kids were celebrity related and one handsome boy with famous family was touchy.. like projecting anti-semitism everywhere.... Another whose father was a famous TV writer of series everyone knew in the 1950s and 1960s wasn't like that at all.

In my circle these days 60 % are Jewish people and I adore them. They have a real sense of service and kindness.... They are generous and stick up for the little guy. The Jewish community in Buckhead is strong and the have all sorts of charities and outreach to include foodbanks, counseling, free dental.. and a myriad of senior services.

I am blown away by their sense of civic and humanitarian service..

My maternal grandfather and several of my uncles were all freemasons and the were dedicated to service regardless of religion..

I think its a different mindset. .. and its summed up in your Mitzot.
