What is the difference between emunah and bitachon?
Emunah is the belief that we have that Hashem does everything, that he’s the one in charge. Knowing that everything Hashem does is good, and comes from His love and compassion. Bitachon is bringing that belief into one’s day to day life, actually using it in real life.
Emunah is the knowledge in one’s mind that there is a Creator of Heaven and Earth, Hashem, and that He controls all existence. Bitachon is the feeling developed in one’s heart of comfort and relaxation that goes along with internalizing that knowledge.
