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.

GEN593 The Holy One Blessed be He exiled the Jews among the nations only so that converts should be added to their numbers Pesachim 87b.  If the Jews deal with them without deceit, they will cleave to them. And the Holy One Blessed be He looked with disfavor upon the stealing of the wicked (this verse).  It is told Deuteronomy Rabbah 3:3 that the disciples of Rabbi Shimon ben Shatach, finding a precious stone hanging from the neck of a donkey that he had purchased from an Ishmaelite, brought it to him and said: “Our master, ‘The blessing of Hashem makes one rich’ Proverbs 10:22.  [i.e., This is a gift to you from God], to which he replied, “I bought a donkey; I did not buy a precious stone.”  Thus saying, he went and returned the stone to the Ishmaelite, who thereupon proclaimed: “Blessed is Hashem, the God of Shimon ben Shatach.”  TZADIK 403-305
