(I e-mailed this question to my daughter and she answered that maybe Avraham had emunah at age 3 but in fact did not have a fully developed notion of hashgacha. I find it hard to believe that Avraham didn't know there was hashgacha, but I think the distinction between emunah and hashgacha holds water. One of the 7 mitzvos according to some poskim is to believe in G-d. I was wondering whether there is any mitzvah for a ben noach to accept the concept of hashgacha or not.)Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-2495645558991143582015-10-23T05:33:30.232-04:002015-10-23T05:33:30.232-04:00I think the answer is, emuna isn't a once in a...I think the answer is, emuna isn't a once in a life recognition, rather it has to be emuna chushis, emuna that's felt. There are 2 types of emuna as it says יודעת היום והשבת אל לבבך (as r chatzkel , r elchonon, and the bilvavi say) it has to be constant reminder and recognition. to battle the yetzer hara and gashmius. to always be living with hashem Yybturnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12475392082466169051noreply@blogger.com
