"Ger toshav" is a term from Jewish law (Halacha) that refers to a non-Jewish resident who lives among the Jewish people and accepts certain basic moral and ethical principles of Judaism, often outlined in the Seven Laws of Noah. These laws are considered universal moral guidelines that, according to Jewish tradition, apply to all humanity. A ger toshav is distinct from a "ger" or convert to Judaism, who formally accepts the Jewish faith and its practices.
