History of religion; Judaism; Judaism: theology

Creation is not only a beginning - it is a song. From the harmony of the spheres to the sanctity of the Mikdash, Torah reveals a cosmos of order, meaning, and shirah.

From Sefer Yetzirah to the Rambam, from the Zohar to the Arizal, Jewish tradition speaks of creation not merely as an event but as a shirah - a harmony of spheres, tribes, and sacred times.

This sefer gathers Torah sources on:

- The galgalim (celestial spheres) in Rambam, Ramban, Ibn Ezra, and Abarbanel - The twelve tribes, months, and mazalot - The Beis HaMikdash as the axis of heaven and earth - The principle of ein mazal l'Yisrael in halachah and machshavah - The Jewish calendar and sanctification of time (Kiddush HaChodesh, tekufos, and Birkat HaChamah)

With reverence for mesorah and clarity of presentation, Shirat HaGalgalim shows how the Mikdash embodies the cosmos, how Israel's banners, months, and mo'adim reflect Divine harmony, and how Torah distinguishes true cosmic order from foreign systems of astrology.

Philosophical, mystical, and halachic at once, this work is written for the ben Torah, the student of Jewish thought, and the seeker who wishes to see creation through the eyes of Torah.
