Emunim (Hebrew: אֱמוּנִים, lit. Faith) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Ashdod, it falls under the jurisdiction of Be'er Tuvia Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 732
The moshav was founded in 1950 by immigrants from Egypt, on the land of the Palestinian village of Beit Daras.[1]
