The rabbinic regulations regarding Jewish-gentile relations are modified in the case of a "ger toshav". The accepted halakhic opinion is that the "ger toshav" must accept the seven Noahide laws in the presence of three "haberim" (men of authority), or, according to the rabbinic tradition, before a "beth din" (Jewish rabbinical court). He will receive certain legal protection and privileges from the Jewish community, and there is an obligation to render him aid when in need. The restrictions on having a gentile do work for a Jew on the Shabbat are also greater when the gentile is a "ger toshav".
