#14: Faith vs. Emunah: Understanding the Difference between Intellectual and Instinctual Belief in God

The Thirteen Principles of Faith are the foundations of our religion. Just as the foundation of a structure is indispensable for ensuring the integrity of the building; these principles are necessary prerequisites for Jewish faith. But just as is the case in a building, the foundations are in the background – no one resides in them – in Judaism these principles are vital but are not the object of our spiritual lives. In this podcast we contrast the differences between the fundamental faith that underpins our religion, and the faith that is the lifeblood – the bread and butter – of the religion itself. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Sponsorship: Please consider sponsoring a podcast by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php .
