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.

LEV41 [One of the fundamentals of repentance). Confession, as it is written [this verse]: "He shall confess that wherein he has sinned." And he must mention both his own sins and those of his ancestors. Why those of his ancestors? Because he is punished if he continues in their ways; and it is thus written (Ibid. 26:40): "And they shall confess their transgressions and the transgressions of their fathers." And he must take great care during confession to resolve in his heart to forsake his evil ways. For if he intends to return to them and does not forsake them then he is reckoned as one who undergoes [purifying] ritual immersion with a creeping [defiling] thing in his hand (Ta'anis 16a); for confession is analogous to ritual immersion, and the sin, to a creeping thing, and it goes without saying that ritual immersion is of no avail to one who holds such a thing.
