Perek Shira

In Perek Shira, the creations of the world sing their unique songs. The heaven and the earth, the rivers and seas, the trees and birds, the animals and crawling creatures - all join in a universal symphony, a chorus of song in praise of God. Each creation offers its own verse, its unique song that encapsulates its essence and its role in the cosmos. For many, these verses are more than just praise to the Creator; they provide a window into each creation's role in nature, as well as its struggles and its deepest longings. With his signature concise and fluid commentary, Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz brings this ancient midrashic text to life. The book is steeped in a profound love for natural phenomena, flora, and fauna, inviting the reader to experience and perhaps join in the song of a world yearning for its Source.
