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.

LEVITICUS | 23:42 sukkah — LEV936 Dwell in a sukkah for the seven days of Su...

LEV936 Dwell in a sukkah for the seven days of Sukkos. In order to recall the great miracles that Hashem performed for our forefathers in the desert when He took them out of Egypt. He surrounded them with the Clouds of Glory, so that the hot sun would not harm them during the day, nor the cold during the night. Some explained that our forefathers built their own huts in the desert, and we, too, build such temporary structures and dwell in them on Sukkos. Through remembering the great wonders that Hashem did for our forefathers and continues to do for us, we are careful to keep His mitzvos. Thereby, we become worthy to receive His blessings, which pleases Him, for He desires to bestow of His Good upon us.
