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.

GEN583 There are two types of good Jews, both of them righteous.  However, one type of righteous Jew has no impact upon his environment, while the other righteous Jews, the charismatic or leadership personality, can influence many Jews to become good and do good, using peer pressure for a positive purpose.  God purposely wanted Noah to build the ark for one hundred twenty years (until he planted the trees, cut them down, and so on), in order that all the people in the world would ask him what he was doing. When he would explain to them about their sins and future punishment of the flood, the hope was that he might be able to induce them to repent.  Thus, it was crucial that they see the ark’s construction.  Genesis Rabbah 1:2.  Note: This midrash as described not found at citation.  [See also, Genesis Rabbah 30:7 – AJL]  AMEMEI 217-8
