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.

EXOD266 Where do we learn that his student's honor should be as dear to a person as his own? (Pirkei Avot, Perek IV, mishnah 15) Let all men learn it from Moses our Master: for he said to Joshua, "Choose for us men [and go forth to battle with Amalek]" [this verse]; it does not state "Choose for me," but rather "Choose for us," indicating that he ranked Joshua as himself; he equated his own honor with that of Joshua, although he was the master and Joshua was his disciple. Now, where do we learn that the honor of one's fellow should be as dear to him as his master's?--From the verse, "and Aaron said to Moses, O my lord" (Numbers 12:11). Now, was not his brother [Moses] younger than he? Nevertheless he ranked him as his master. And where do we learn that the honor of one's master should be as dear to him as the honor of Heaven, the honor of the Divine Presence? -- for it is stated, "and Joshua the son of Nun, the attendant of Moses since his youth, answered and said: My Lord Moses, confine them." (Numbers 11:28). He ranked him equal with the Divine Presence [for he used the same form of address: My lord] Avoth d'R. Nathan A27.
