Praise for Perek Shira:

“A beautiful book dealing with all the aspects of the natural world in the Torah perspective… Nature’s Song is authoritative, factual, poetic, comprehensive, a brilliant work of art-and-science. A book to have and to give, to read repeatedly and to cherish…. Handsome, informative, well-written and thoroughly researched… This book is a valuable addition to anyone’s library.”
-Yated Ne’eman, Bnei Brak

“As he has already demonstrated in his earlier books, this extremely talented young author once again shows his gift for combining Torah knowledge with general erudition in communicating the wisdom of our Talmudic Sages to his readers. In his elucidation of Perek Shirah he reaches new heights in his brilliant success of utilizing his expertise in zoology for teaching Torah concepts and values… Nature’s Song will provide the public with an opportunity to enjoy the music of the Torah Universe while learning so much about the genius of its Creator.”
-Rabbi Mendel Weinbach, Dean, Ohr Somayach Institutions

“The natural world could not have selected a more appropriate spokesperson to open our ears to its glorious chorus. Rabbi Slifkin’s rare combination of Torah scholarship, literary talent and a lifelong fascination with animals and nature provide us with much more than an anthology of previous works on Perek Shirah. In his able hands, the voice of each instrument in the cosmic orchestra gains new clarity; their chords blend together into the strains of a Divine symphony.”
-Rabbi Mordecai Kornfeld, Rosh Kollel, Kollel Iyun HaDaf (Daf Yomi Advancement Forum)
