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.

DEUT289 It is a positive precept to pray every day to the Blessed God for Scripture says, and Him shall you serve [this verse]; and through the Oral Tradition our Sages of blessed memory learned (Talmud Bavli, Ta'anith 2a) that this service means prayer. For Scripture states, and to serve Him with all your heart (D'varim 11:13). What service is with the heart? -- prayer. The commandment is that a person should relate the praises of the Holy One, Blessed is He; after that he should ask his needs; and after that he has to give praise and thanks to the Blessed God. It is necessary to pray with the focused attention of the heart; one should turn his heart away from every thought, and he should see himself as though standing before the shechinah. He should not produce his prayer like someone who is carrying a burden and throws it down and goes his way. Neither should he pray with a troubled and disturbed mind.
