E is for Emunah - Faith. Ohabei Chayyim strive to develop a simple, quiet faith in our Yedid, in our chaverim (community) and in every person we meet. This is not easy - it requires great strength and will, but it is a true sign of our love for our Yedid. We find that honest, simple talk, silence, reflection, ritual, study, prayer, music, food and humor build community, and community supports our faith. It is a holy desire of holy folk seeking to emulate (in our own way and to the best of our abilities) the Holy One.

May the Compassionate One, our Yedid, grant You and Yours all the desires of Your heart for good, and a little bit more!
