“Without emuna, what’s life all about?  If mortals are destined to die, then their entire lives of strain, suffering, effort, and aspirations are rendered meaningless….  Emuna provides a reason for everything on earth.  Emuna is the only effective consolation for the pain and sorrow that we all encounter from time to time.”  – The Garden of Emuna

“King David teaches us to seek Hashem’s guidance, when he pleads (Psalms 25:5), ‘Lead me in Your truth,’ Your truth, and not mine, for only You, Hashem, know what’s best for me.  He also prays (ibid. 73:24), ‘May You guide me in Your counsel,’ Your counsel, Hashem, and not the counsel of my limited human brain.” – The Garden of Emuna

“[A] person that ignores Hashem’s messages creates a lack of communication with Hashem…. Stubborn people that lack emuna force Hashem to send them all types of obstacles and hindrances – human or otherwise – to prevent them from wasting their lives or doing damage to themselves.” – The Garden of Emuna

“On Har Sinai, the Jews were able to actually visualize the words of Hashem.  So, too, a parent must make sure that his child can observe and truly visualize every word he is taught.  Sometimes, actions speak louder than words.”   – R’ S.A. Rubin zt”l taken out of Torah Tavlin
