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.

GEN442 We are obligated to provide clothes for the needy.  We are obligated to emulate God.  Just as He clothed the naked, so too must we clothe the naked Sotah14a. Ideally, one should give the finest quality clothing to the poor Maimonides, Laws of Things Forbidden on the Altar 7:11.  However, before one discards used clothes, one should consider the possibility that a poor person would prefer used clothes to none at all Pele Yoatz, halbosho.  Great care must be taken not to embarrass the recipient, since a person may feel humiliated when offered used clothing.  In some communities, volunteers regularly go from house to house collecting clothes that are not needed.  If this commendable practice cannot be instituted, every community should at least appoint someone to keep a list of institutions or individuals who could utilize such garments.  PLYN 30-31
