The First Covenant Foundation's Directors - and two new Foundation Fellows for 2009-2010
The three men below each began teaching
the Seven Laws more than 20 years ago:
|
Michael Dallen started the First Covenant Foundation, working with Rabbi Michael Katz and Rev. Jack E. Saunders. Mr. Dallen, a longtime attorney, newspaper writer and - once upon a time - carpenter and autoworker, is Jewish. He began treating Israel's Torah Covenant of Sinai completely seriously only after learning of the First Covenant. He wrote The Rainbow Covenant. Contact: MDallen @ 1stcovenant.org Michael Dallen 2384 Woodstock Detroit, Michigan 48203 (313) 891-1920 |

Rev. Jack E. Saunders, who began
his professional career as a Baptist pastor, is the president
and lector, or principal teacher, of Frazier's Chapel, a Noahide
center near Cleveland, Tennessee. A leading figure in the
modern Noahide movement, he is a First Covenant Foundation director, co-founder, and trustee. As an expert on Christian theology and church history, as a devout student of Torah, and as a teacher, essayist and lecturer, he has introduced thousands of students to the First Covenant. He helped write Rainbow Covenant. Contact: JSaunders @ 1st covenant.org Rev. Jack E. Saunders 3340 Littlejohn Circle S.E. Cleveland, Tennessee 37323 (423) 559-2121

Rabbi Michael Katz has served
as a rabbinic adviser to Noahides since 1989 and has been a First Covenant Foundation trustee and director since its
beginning. Rabbi Katz worked with Mr. Dallen and Rev. Saunders on Rainbow
Covenant; he was the very first rabbinic scholar to review it and helped edit it before publication. Rabbi Katz
began his professional career in South Africa. A Torah teacher, businessman and writer, he lives in Miami, Florida
with his wife, Toby (daughter of Ohr Sameyach's late Rabbi Nachman Bulman,
of blessed memory), and their children, Shai, Naomi and Shifra. Contact RMKatz @ 1stcovenant.org

We are pleased to announce the appointment of two new Foundation Fellows for 2009-2010:
Hiram Vazquez (U.S.A.) and Yoshiyahu (Malaysia)
One-year Fellowship appointments effective from May 24, 2009 (Sivan 1, 5769)
Yoshiyahu (not his birth name), lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Malaysia, a fast-growing, spectacularly multi-ethnic country, has a Muslim-dominated government. Currently, this government does not fully guarantee
freedom of religion or freedom of speech. So we selected
the photo below - an actual photo of our new
Foundation Fellow, even though it isn't
all
that recent - to help protect his identity.
Yoshiyahu
Hiram Vazquez is Director Jack E. Saunders' helper and his frequent study partner. He has given a lot of himself to the First Covenant Foundation (as has our other new Fellow, Yoshiyahu), for which we thank him as well as Mrs. Vazquez, who has so kindly shared with us the father of their growing children, her husband.
Mr. and Mrs. Hiram
Vazquez
(We hope to catch our American Fellow without his sunglasses soon,
so we can post a better picture. Expect to see more about our
two new Foundation Fellows in a forthcoming Covenant Connection.) Hiram V. is a martial artist - he is "the Peaceful Warrior" - and a rap artist. If you like rap music, check out his latest, Shema Yisroel, and, just out, There's No Palestine
______________
The First Covenant Foundation is a world-wide learning and mutual support community dedicated to covenant education -
which, we believe, is essential education.
We are not "faith-based." History, science, law and
common-sense are the basis of this movement.
We are pro-science, pro-history, pro-Israel,
pro-laughter (and music), pro-Torah and the Bible.
We have nothing against any religions
(except those involving oppression and cruelty)
When more people keep the Noahide laws,
it won't just help save the whales,
it will make the world more worth saving.
( And help save the whales )
And you shall seek Me, and find Me, when you
shall search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13
We invite you to join us
