Here is a work that combines dazzling erudition in astronomy, theoretical physics and various other scientific disciplines, together with a fine knowledge of Jewish mysticism and biblical commentary, and -- what is truly rare -- an ability to combine them seamlessly into a view of the world that is both spiritual and humane. --Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

[Intergalactic Judaism] is fascinating from a scientific perspective and enlightening and inspiring from a Torah perspective. --Rabbi Zev Leff

This thought-provoking book demonstrates how modern physics can refresh our perception of Torah and our work in the world. --Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz
