Doresh Emunah

A deeper understanding of the emunah that shapes Jewish life.Many basic concepts of emunah remain unfamiliar or misunderstood, and they deserve fuller clarity and deeper understanding. In Doresh Emunah, Rabbi Dovid Steinhauer leads us to the core of the thirteen principles of faith and shows how they illuminate a person’s relationship with Hashem and affirm the identity of the Jewish people as His nation. The sefer presents emunah as knowledge that enters the mind, truth that settles in the heart, and a foundation that guides the life of a Jew.With clarity and order, the sefer guides one through the major themes of the thirteen principles. It explores the Creator and His direction of the world, Torah from Heaven, prophecy, prayer, reward and consequence, free choice, Mashiach, and the World to Come. Along the way, Rabbi Steinhauer lays out a clear structure for each principle: understanding the idea, presenting the proof, showing its source in Torah, connecting to the concept, and bringing it into daily life. He also addresses challenges to the Torah’s authenticity, explores Divine wisdom and purpose, and helps define one’s role as part of the Jewish people.This is a sefer for those who want more than inspiration alone. It offers understanding, structure, and conviction. It gives a fuller grasp of what faith means, why it stands at the center of Jewish identity, and how it shapes priorities, choices, trust, and purpose.
