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.

LEV71 We must not cause someone embarrassment by referring to his past misdeeds. The Talmud (Yerushalmi Yevomos 8:3) explains that the reason the sin offering and burnt offering were slaughtered in the same place in the Sanctuary was to save sinners from embarrassment. Anyone witnessing someone bringing a sin offering could assume that it was a burnt offering which is brought as a donation and not necessarily as an atonement for a transgression. Using this as a source, the Sages made a regulation that prayer (shmoneh esrai) must be recited quietly in order not to embarrass people who confess their sins during their prayers. (Sotah 32b). This verse teaches us that we must be very careful not to cause someone embarrassment or discomfort because of past misdeeds.
