"Emunah" is also a Hebrew word with the meaning 'faith'; however, it is important to note that in Western culture, the concept of faith generally places the action upon the subject rather than its object, as in 'faith in God'. This is passive by nature. In Hebrew culture, it is action oriented involving active support, and places the action upon the object, as in 'support God'.[5]
