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.

GEN615 Observe now, said R. Simeon, that the way of the Holy One is not like the way of the mortal.  If a mortal king goes to battle he goes accompanied by armies and legions, but when he goes on a peaceful mission he goes alone.  That is not the way of the Holy One.  When He goes on a mission of peace He goes forth with armies and with legions.  As Scripture says, “He makes peace in His high Heavens,” after that it is written, “can His armies be numbered?” Job 25:3 … You find that when the Holy One inflicted punishment upon the evil Generation of the Flood, He did so entirely alone.  As Scripture says, “I, even I, do bring the flood of waters” GOODSOC 227-8
