“Tzedakah is more than giving money ~ When done properly it shows empathy and compassion toward the person or cause you give to.”
Thousands worldwide have experienced what the Daily Dose of Emuna has done ~
Torah learning, care and emotional personal support, chesed support & activities and kiruv to name a few.
With Hashem’s guidance the Daily Dose of Emuna began it’s Emuna teaching 6 years ago, a year after my family and I made Aliyah. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2006 while pregnant with my last child. I am a trained chef by profession and could no longer work due to the physical pain. Our home went into foreclosure and savings gone towards everyday living expenses. We made Aliyah with the last bit of money we had.
At first I tried to work but couldn’t physically with my ongoing MS relapses. My husband does the catering now and learns. We go more into debt everyday.
I asked myself where does Hashem want me to go with this? I knew Hashem wanted me to grow in other ways and began to learn and write Emuna posts. Before I knew it thousands of women were signing up and still do ’til today. We were always the givers, now we are the receivers. This too is a great lesson in growth and avodah. I get calls and requests for emotional, spiritual and financial support everyday.
B’H I have the privilege to teach emuna, author Emuna emails and latest book ‘Turnaround – 180 degrees in 180 days’ and personally mentor everyday. With your help the important work will continue.
Your donations are very much needed and truly appreciated.
Donations of $5, $10, $20 or anything is vital for the Daily Dose of Emuna to keep doing its work.
Every bit helps. Tizku l’mitzvot. Thank you.

The daily dose of emuna will be taking a break until the beginning of Cheshvan. Wishing everyone inspiration throughout the chagim and continuous emuna, strength, clarity and happiness, Amen.
In a quiet voice we tell Hashem, “I am sorry. Please forgive me. I do not want to fall again.” The mitzvah of teshuva enable us to cleave to Hashem in the most profound way.
Everyday a voice cries out from Har Chorev pleading with us to ‘Come Back’. The Besht ztk’l teaches that we hear that voice within our hearts; it appears as thoughts of remorse and drives us to repent. Oy, if we heard that voice; we wouldn’t bear the pain. However there is shell of insensitivity that surrounds us and we often may not even feel the loss. Yom Kippur places us ‘face to face’ standing before Hashem; in that merit our hearts are stirred with emotion and we hear the cry from Har Sinai.
On Yom Kippur, during the days of the Beit HaMikdash we were filled with da’at, an intimate knowledge of the value of cleaving to Hashem. We felt anguish and an intense yearning to bond once again with Hashem; this brought us to genuinely repent.
Although we have yet to merit the building of our Beit HaMikdash we should be consoled by the knowledge that Hashem ‘cherishes’ our teshuva so much, that our transgressions turn into merits. We must grow strong in our resolve to do teshuva and desire a closer more meaningful relationship with Hashem.
The daily dose of emuna will be taking a break until the beginning of Cheshvan. Wishing everyone inspiration throughout the chagim and continuous emuna, strength, clarity and happiness, Amen.

A Jewish King shares the heart and mind of the Jewish people. In that vein as servants the Jewish people should feel connected to their king and ‘naturally’ desire to do what the king asks. The Jewish King always has his people’s best interest in mind.
Being that Hashem is our King our minds should ‘think alike’ and our hearts should ‘feel’ the same. This perfect alignment draws down abundant blessings onto us and the Klal. In fact this is the concept of living with Mashiach; bringing into line our will with Hashem’s will. When the King rules His subjects must surrender to His governing. The collective soul-energy of one nation with one desire draws down immense Divine light into the world.
On Rosh Hashanah we surrender our soul to Hashem and accept Him as our King. During the ten days of teshuva we offer heartfelt prayers of regret over our sins; thereby giving our hearts to Hashem. On Yom Kippur we surrender our body by giving up food, drink and bodily pleasure.
As a result of the avodah we did in Elul, over Rosh Hashanah and B’H will do during the ten days, we completely surrender all three levels of our soul and merit to break down all barriers that might have separated us from bonding with Hashem.
Today’s daily dose of emuna is dedicated L’iluy nishmat Chava bat Chana a’h. May her soul bask in the Divine radiance among all the righteous who have departed from this world, Amen.
