"Why can't non-Jews keep Shabbat?".
<br>Discussing it with friends we have basically come to the conclusion that the reason Shabbat is specific to Jews is because it is an Ot between us and Hashem. This logic would seem to similarly include Tefillin and Brit Mila (although for Mila I heard an idea recently that since it is possible that all goyim are bnei Avraham maybe they are chayav in Mila too).
<br>Does anyone know of any other mitzvot that are in this category? Anyone know of a good way to explain this idea to someone without a strong Jewish background?<br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888">~Liron</font><br></blockquote>
