Before accessing the excerpts, please review a word about copyright.

Are you more of an "I'll dive right in and figure it out" person, or a "Show Me How This Thing Works" person?  If the former, go right ahead and try the excerpts browers on the right side of this page and/or scroll through the excerpts that start below the following information -- although we still suggest reading the information first.  If you are the latter, click here for a video demonstrating the Excerpts Browser. Either way (or both), enjoy! 

This page is recommended for searches limited to specific Torah books, weekly portions (parshiot), chapters, verses, and/or sources (authors). For keyword and/or for exact phrase (including verse and source) searches of the entire excerpts database, we recommend using the Search Engine page.  For broadest results, use both pages and alternative search strategies. 

This page displays the full text of all or "sorted" (filtered) excerpts in the database.  Use the "Torah Verses" and/or "Excerpt Sources" browsers at the right to locate the excerpts associated with your desired Torah book, portion, chapter. verse, or author.  Or, simply scroll through the excerpts, using the "boxes" at the bottom of any page displaying excerpts to "jump" ahead or back. 

Also note that immediately below the chapter, verse, and keyword of each excerpt is a highlighted line comprised of multiple links.  Clicking on any of the links will limit (filter) the excerpts display to the selected category.  

Transcription of excerpts is incomplete.  For current status, please see "Transcribed Sources" on the Search Engine page.  To assist with completion, please see "Contributors" page.

GEN212 R. Yohanan haSand’lar said: Every assembly that is for the sake of Heaven will endure in the end; but any one that is not for the sake of Heaven will not endure in the end.  Pirkei Avot IV:14.  … The first manifestation of the Almighty in the world was as Creator, the builder of this very world. But He left His work unfinished. For we read that on the seventh day the Almighty “rested from all His work that God had created la’asoth, to do, to act, be active.  Creation was a process that was to continue. And when man appeared, in the Divine image, he became the Almighty’s partner in creation, to continue it.  He became a builder.  Thus we human beings build during our stay on earth: we erect homes, factories, business enterprises, organizations … If you would build structures to last, proof against the ravages of time, learn to become like your Creator, to “walk in all His ways”’ then you will construct as he does.  SINAI2 98
