Questions and Answers: A Matter of Emunah……

Many people are now coming to The blog @ Breslov.org. With such an crowd there are bound to be important questions that we can, as a group discuss and help answer. Here are a set of questions that were sent into the blog recently. Can you use the comment section to suggest some answers or maby ask some of your own (even unrelated) questions?

Questions:
1) What is Emunah and how is it different from Bitochon?
2) Are we just like Christians, believing in blind faith?
3) Why do we need Emunah in order to acquire knowledge, can’t we right away understand everything with our intellect?
4) Where does Hishtadlus (personal effort) impact our Emunah and Bitochon?
