Emunah is a religious zionist women's organization. The roots of the organization are in a variety of groups founded by the Mizrachi movement in Palestine and elsewhere in the world.
The Mizrachi Women’s Federation was started in Palestine in 1918. A women’s branch of the Hapoel HaMizrachi was founded in 1935 by Tova Sanhadray-Goldreich. The organizations merged in 1959 to form the Women’s National Religious Movement. This merged organization was renamed "Emunah" in 1977.[1]
The Women’s Mizrachi Federation in America was founded in 1925 and became part of the worldwide Emunah organization in the 1970s.
The organization's name comes from the Hebrew word "Emunah" (אמונה) is a Hebrew word with the meaning 'faith'.[2]
