Emuna is not blind belief; rather, it is the experience of G-d’s Presence as a tangible reality. We need to know in our hearts and minds that G-d is there and that our ultimate purpose is to serve Him. We need emuna to trust that the future will ultimately turn out perfectly, even though it might not seem to make sense right now.

The Feeling Called Emuna

WHAT’S NEW SHOP COURSES YOUTUBE PODCAST The Feeling Called Emuna BS’D Some truths are so vital, they deserve to be revisited again and again. Emuna is one of them.

It’s a warmth in the chest. A knowing in the bones. We can learn about Hashem’s involvement in every moment of our lives — that’s step…
