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.

GEN1104 There are different types of hatred. One may hate his neighbor for causing him a monetary loss, striking him, shaming him, or giving him a bad name and the like. For all these and the like one must not hate his friend in silence, as stated in respect to the wicked (I Shemuel 13:22): "And Avshalom did not speak with Amnon either good or evil, for Avshlom hated Amnon," but it is a mitzvah to inform him and to say to him: "Why did you do this and this to me? as it is written [this verse]: "You shall surely reprove your friend." And if ... If [your friend] asks for forgiveness, he must be forgiven; and the one who forgives must not be hard-hearted, as it is written [this verse].   “And Avraham prayed to God” [on behalf of Avimelech]. Baba Kama 92a.  And even if the offender does not ask to be forgiven, he should not be hated but handled with love, so that in the end the injury will be righted.   TZADIK 133-5
