Description
The Science of Shabbos - Miraculous Nature
The Science of Shabbos reveals how the six days of Creation, the thirty-nine melachos and the laws of physics speak one language. Rabbi Dov Coiffman, an accomplished engineer and talmid chacham, uncovers Halley’s Comet, nuclear forces, sand piles, ecosystems and the human body as living models of Shabbos and Divine design. With clear explanations and vivid maamarei Chazal, the book turns modern science into a guide for emunah, showing Shabbos as a blueprint for meaningful life.
“With his understanding of the intricate teachings of the Torah, coupled with his deep comprehension of modern science and physics, Rabbi Dov Coiffman demonstrates that Torah and science are not only compatible, but they are inherently intertwined. The clarity with which he explains these connections will inspire all who read it, allowing us to see the Torah’s eternal truths.”
Rabbi Yochanan Zweig, Rosh Yeshiva, Talmudic University of Florida
“Chazal explain that Avraham Avinu learned the middos and ways of Hashem by drawing on the lessons and metaphors from the human body and the universe around him…Rabbi Dov Coiffman continues in this vein by investigating how the laws of physics can show us that the mitzvos of the Torah are embedded not only in the world of ruchniyus but also in the physical world around us.”
Rabbi Yaakov Gross, Rosh Kollel, Miami Beach Community Kollel
