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.

EXOD994 (Continued from [[LEV176]] Leviticus 16:16 sins GATES 235-6). Anyone devoted to Hashem must be willing to forfeit his life for the sanctification of Hashem's Name, as the pesukim say [this verse], "'Whoever is for Hashem, let him come to me'. And all the sons of Levi gathered around him"; and (Bemidbar 25:7), "Pinchas saw... and took a spear in his hand." It is incumbent upon every God-fearing person, especially when his love [for Hashem] is rooted in purity of heart [Mishlei 22:11], that he arouse himself to zealotry when he sees the hand of princes and viceroys involved in sin. Our Sages said (Bereishis Rabbah 26:5), "Any breach which does not begin with the leaders is not a breach [i.e., this is a serious breach that desecrates Hashem's Name and requires one who loves Hashem to work steadfastly toward its repair (Matnas Chelko)], as the pasuk says (Ezra 9:2), 'The hand of the princes and viceroys has been foremost in this sin."
