ger toshav

Ger toshav ( ger "foreigner" or "alien" + toshav "resident", lit. "resident alien) is a term in Judaism for a gentile (non-Jew) living in the Land of Israel who accepts upon him/herself (and observes) the Noahide Laws (the minimum set of imperatives which in Jewish tradition are said to be applicable to non-Jews, consisting of seven out of the 613 commandments in Judaism) and certain other religious and cultural traditions under Jewish law. A ger toshav is therefore commonly deemed a righteous gentile ( chassid umot ha-olam "Pious People of the World").
