"The Avian Rebbe has done it again! Volume 2 is an invitation from a kind sage to sit quietly at the edges of our understanding, guided by God and creation to pause in wonder. Whether you're a person of faith, a birder, or a seeker of whimsy, Aaric Eisenstein's beautiful photographs and wise reflections are a gift to be savored. I will be enjoying these for a long time to come.”

“Successfully navigating entrepreneurship requires Stars-and-Stepping Stones: immutable goals guiding flexible tactics. This beautiful book is filled with Stars - encouragement and questions - which keep us on track towards meaningful accomplishment. There is something special about creators, and this book is written for them.”
Jeff Sandefer - Serial Entrepreneur, Education Innovator, and Co-Author of A Field Guide for the Hero’s Journey
"In Vol.2 of the Avian Rebbe, Aaric reminds us that we can look to the birds around us to think about our lives and the choices we make, as well as how we ground ourselves in the world while also flying high. Weaving together teachings in Jewish traditions and encounters with the birds, Aaric shows his readers how to use both for guidance towards a happier and ultimately healthier life. One doesn't need to be of the Jewish faith to benefit from the thought-provoking chapters within; just read with an open mind and heart, and be inspired by the stunning photography that invites the reader into the life of birds. The Avian Rebbe Vol. 2 is a winning celebration of how we can all benefit from the birds around us: mind, body, and spirit."

“It is taught that King Solomon could understand the language of all the animals. As Avian Rebbe, Aaric Eisenstein appears able to do the same with our feathered friends. Aaric discovers and shares deep and applicable wisdom from the lives, behavior, and beauty of birds. Each teaching is accompanied by his exquisite bird photography. As a fellow nature photographer, bird-lover, and rabbi, I always find something original and meaningful in every one of his amazing observations.”
Rabbi Julie Hilton Danan, Ph.D. - Religious Leader of Seaside Jewish Community, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and Founder of wellspringsofwisdom.com
“The Avian Rebbe, Aaric Eisenstein, continues to bring his unique perspective to birds for the appreciation of all. He combines his stunning photographs with thoughtful observations about the natural world and what we can learn from it, rooted in Jewish wisdom and insights. In the frenetic pace of modern life, Aaric gives us the gifts of both beauty and reflection to inspire a deeper connection to nature and our own spirituality.”
