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.

LEV1047 It is a positive commandment to give alms to the poor of Israel, according to what is fitting for them, if the giver can forward it, as it is said, "You shall surely open your hand into him" (Deuteronomy 15:8), and again, "Then shall you uphold him; as a stranger and a settler shall he live with you… That your brother may live with you" (this and following verses). He who sees a poor man begging and turns his eyes away from him and fails to give him alms, transgresses a negative commandment, as it is said, "You shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your needy brother" (Deuteronomy 15:7). You are commanded to give the poor man according to what he lacks. ... "Sufficient for his need in that which he needs" (Deuteronomy 15:8).
