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.

EXOD1014 Many of us act as if we were born with a clipboard and have been assigned the task of evaluating everyone we meet.… You walk into a room and immediately scan the crowd, taking in everyone who is there, and putting them all through an instant evaluation.… what sorts of things do you say (only to yourself, of course) when that judgmental frame of mind has a grip on you, and you are moving through life as if someone appointed you to be a judge whose job it is to assess whether or not people measure up? Let me ask, can you detect even a hint of honor in that attitude? Honor not for what people have done, or how they do it, but in recognition of the simple fact that we are all human, which means invested with a soul and possessing enormous gifts not of our own making? And further, what is the outcome of that judgmental attitude? Does it ever lead to anything positive, or is it the root of disappointment and dissatisfaction in everyone around us?
