Halakhah su Salmi 147:20

R. Ze'ev Wolf Leiter, Teshuvot Bet David, no. 96, suggests that the ban against teaching Torah to non-Jews may not apply to young children. Minḥat Hinnukh, no. 232, states that the sole prohibition devolving upon a Jew who teaches Torah to a non-Jew is that of "Thou shalt not place a stumbling block before the blind" (Leviticus 19:14).⁴⁵See above, note 5. Since, however, a non-Jewish child who has as yet not reached the age of legal capacity⁴⁶Teshuvot Ḥatam Sofer, Yoreh De‘ah, no. 317, states that although a Jewish boy reaches majority at 13 years of age and a Jewish girl at 12 years of age, provided that hair has developed in the pubic region, Noachides may be culpable at whatever age their intellect becomes developed. Sho’el u-Meshiv, Mahadurah Tinyana, I, no. 14, states clearly that this occurs at a much younger age. [In light of the principle which establishes that there is no commandment binding upon Noachides from which Jews are exempt (Sanhedrin 55a and 59a) some scholars aver that mentally mature Jewish minors below the age of halakhic majority are obligated to abide by the provisions of the Seven Commandments no less than are non-Jews of similar maturity; see R. Chaim Auerbach, Divrei Ḥayyim, Nizkei Mammon, no. 11, and R. Shlomoh Zalman Auerbach, Moriah, Elul 5742. Divrei Ḥayyim asserts that although he is bound by the Seven Commandments, a Jewish minor who has attained intellectual maturity is not liable to punishment for infraction of those commandments.] incurs no punishment,⁴⁷See, however, R. Joseph Saul Nathanson, Sho’el u-Meshiv, Mahadurah Tinyana, I, no. 14, who declares that under the Noachide Code even minors are culpable. the Jew who provides instruction has not placed a stumbling block before him. However, in an earlier responsum, no. 57, the same author states that the prohibition derived from the verse "He hath not done so with any nation" (Psalms 147:20) applies to the teaching of minors as well.⁴⁸See also R. Isaac Liebes, Teshuvot Bet Avi, I, no. 96, who similarly forbids enrollment of the child of a non-Jewish mother in a Talmud Torah. Moreover, contends Rabbi Leiter, a non-Jew taught Torah as a child may well review what he has studied after reaching the age of majority. The Jew, in providing instruction to a child, would thus be assisting in the latter's transgression at a later time.⁴⁹See Teshuvot Tashbaẓ, III, no. 133; Teshuvot Radbaz, nos. 741 and 796; Magen Avraham, Oraḥ Ḥayyim 347:4; Shakh and Dagul me-Revavah, Yoreh De‘ah 151:6; and Pitḥei Teshuvah, Yoreh De‘ah 151:3.
