HaEmunah
Song written in the late 19th century by Abraham Isaac Kook
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haemunah (Hebrew: ×Ö·×××× ×, lit.â'The Faith') is a song written in the late 19th century by Abraham Isaac Kook. It places the Torah as the central component of the Jewish People's return to its land (Eretz Yisrael), and sees this process as a bigger step for the redemption of Israel, and by extension the world.[1]
