emunah
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: emuna
Etymology: From Hebrew אֱמוּנָה (emuná).
Senses: examples: text: I've seen cases in which #1 might possibly be true, though the only way to do so would entail something like suicide of the soul anyway. And who knows, maybe the idea is that such a person will have it "made up" to them in Olam HaBa. But there's emuna and there's emuna. The emuna that's strong enough for a person to willingly shrivel up into a living death in return for a better room on the other side seems awfully rare to me.
ref: 1997 January 11, li...@interport.net, “Lesbianism in Halakha”, in soc.culture.jewish (Usenet):
text: By 1900, many of the young who grew up in the Hirschian community had dropped out and even among those who remained committed, their religious observance was rather formalistic and arid. The thing that really saved German Orthodoxy was the renewed contact between German Orthodox Jews with those from Eastern Europe and both its traditional Lithuanian Yeshiva elements and the Hasidic groups. Their enthusiasm and deep emunah revitalized many German Orthodox Jews.
