Emunim (Hebrew: אמונים, lit. Faithful) 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. Like many of the other moshavim in the area, its name is symbolic and taken from the Tanakh, specifically Chapter 12, verse 1 of the Book of Psalms.[1]
