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.

DEUTERONOMY | 6:5 love — DEUT215 In general, the Talmud demands high stand...

DEUT215 In general, the Talmud demands high standards of the Torah scholar, so that the Almighty's name not be profaned. "You shall love the Lord your God [this verse]: Let the Name of Heaven become beloved through you. For [a person] should read Scripture and study and serve Torah scholars, and his dealings with people should be pleasant. What will people then say? ' Happy is the father, happy is the rabbi, who taught him Torah. See how becoming are his ways, how refined his behavior.'… But if someone reads Scripture, studies, and serves Torah scholars, and then his dealings with people are not in good faith, his conversation is not pleasant--what will people say of him then? ' Woe to this one who study Torah; woe to his father and rabbi who taught him. Now that he has learned Torah, see how spoiled is his behavior, how reprehensible are his ways…'" (T.B. Yoma 86a) And again the Sages say, "Whichever Torah scholar eats excessively anywhere, thus profanes the Name of Heaven, his teacher's name, and his father's name" (T.B. Pesahim 49a). (Continued at [[NUM82]] Numbers 11:22 enough SINAI2 44).
