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.

GEN1275 It is written Psalms 119:136: “My eyes have shed streams of tears for not having observed Your Torah,” and Psalms 38:19: “For I will declare my transgression; I will worry over my sin.”   One should always nurture sorrow in his heart for what has passed and worry about the future and always be afraid that he might not fulfill the requirement of repentance, as it is written Proverbs 28:14: “Happy is he who fears always.”  Even if one happens to be meritorious and completely righteous, he must always fear that he might sin in the future.  As we find in the case of Yaakov, even though the Holy One Blessed be He told him [this verse]: “And I will guard you wherever you go,” he was afraid that he might come to sin [and invalidate the assurance].   And so did King David assay Psalms 27:13: “I cannot securely believe to see the good of Hashem in the land of the living.”   TZADIK 221-3
