[Avodah] Source of Emunah

[Lisa Liel]

Aside from the fact that I disagree with your equating emunah and 
belief, you're overgeneralizing.  It might be correct to say that *for 
some people*, it's the experience of Shabbos that convinces, and the 
acceptance of the proof follows, but it's certainly not the case for 
everyone.
