HaEmunah

HaEmunah

Haemunah (Hebrew: הַאמונה‎, “The Faith”) is a song written in the late 19th century by Rav 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]

Words

Eternally lives in our hearts,
the loyal faith [Haemunah]
to return to our holy land,
the city where David settled.

There we shall stand [to receive] our destiny,
[which the] father of many [nations] acquired,
there we shall live our life

There we shall serve our God
with joy, happiness and song
there we shall pilgrimage
three times a year.

מפי עליון ניתנה
נצח היא נחלתנו
ממדבר מתנה.

mipi elyon nitna
netzach hi nachalateynu
mimidbar matana.
Torah of life is our desire,
given from heavenly mouth
forever it is our heritage
from the desert it was given.
