Cheers and welcome to my blog site. Let me share with you what Emuna Trek is about.

First, I’ll give you a breakdown of the title’s meaning

You might just be wondering what the word “Emuna” is. It is the Hebrew word that is translated into English as ‘faith’ and is pronounced as “ee-moo-na”.

Emuna: The Hebrew-Jewish tradition divides emuna into three main levels of understanding.

1. Basic-level emuna: This is the firm belief that everything comes from God by way of perfect Divine Providence, even the smallest and most insignificant event.
2. Intermediate-level emuna: In addition to flawless basic emuna, the intermediate believes that everything God does is for the very best.
3. Upper-level emuna: In addition to solid basic and intermediate levels of emuna, the upper-level individual believes that  God does everything for a specific purpose. A person with upper-level emuna tries to understand the message within what God does.

Trek: Is a long, hard journey

Thus, Emuna Trek is the arduous migration toward Biblical-Torah faith.

Now, what will you discover on this site?
You will find essays on subjects concerning matters of faith, societal issues, virtuous living, and various writings on the Seven Laws of Noah that pertain to the non-Jewish nations of the world.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

At the time of this writing, I have been married for 39 years and have two wonderful daughters and a granddaughter.

In 2009, I experienced an event that would become the first of multiple spiritual events that would test and grow my faith.

In 2020, my teacher, Pesach Sherbow of Tsfat, Israel set me forth to teach the Seven Laws of Noah to my brothers and sisters of the nations.

Thus, Emuna Trek is my life’s journey.
