![]() | Perek Shira, literally "A Chapter of Song" is an ancient, mysterious and cryptic prayer telling how all of creation sings its daily song.
Attributed to King David, it is a list of 84 elements of the natural world including the sky, and the earth, plants, birds, animals,and insects, attaching a verse from the Bible to each.
The concept behind Perek Shira is that everything in the natural world teaches us a lesson in philosophy or ethics, and the verse gives a clue as to what that lesson is.
"He teaches us from the animals of the land, and from the birds of the heavens He makes us wise." - Job 35:11 |
