Congregation Agudath Achim is excited to bring Rabbi Dr. Natan Slifkin as its Scholar-in-Residence for what should be a very illuminating and inspiring Shavuot as they continue their event series with Sinai and Synapses.
Rabbi Dr. Natan Slifkin is the founder and director of The Biblical Museum of Natural History. He received his rabbinic ordination from Ohr Somayach Institutions, graduated from the Lander Institute in Jerusalem with an MA in Jewish Thought and Law, and received a PhD in Jewish history at Bar-llan University, with a dissertation on rabbinic encounters with zoology. Rabbi Dr. Slifkin has published numerous books on different themes relating to Judaism and the natural sciences, including The Challenge of Creation and the Torah Encyclopedia of the Animal Kingdom. He lives with his family in Ramat Beit Shemesh.
