Question on reward for aspiring Jew performing mitzvah

Question on reward for aspiring Jew performing mitzvah

As I am going through Session 5 a question came to mind.  Until I convert as a Jew, I am a gentile (obviously).  That being said, does G-d "appreciate" or "accept" Jewish prayers and symbolic rituals like observing Kashrut or performing Kabbalat Shabbat coming from an unconverted Jew (gentile)?  I know that G-d blesses those who do mitzvot, but do those blessings also apply to non-Jews who perform mitzvot
My answer
We view it as practice for you going forward to become a Jew. The basic view in Judaism is the reward for a mitzvah is the mitzvah itself, and the reward is essentially in the next world, though Jewish living is a good way to live. Righteous people, Jew or gentile, inherit a portion in the world to come. I'm sure God looks with favor on your efforts.
