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 | 10:18 justice — DEUT450 In Judaism, the ideas about God are synon...

DEUT450 In Judaism, the ideas about God are synonymous with right conduct, both being intertwined and expressing the ideal of holy living and holy doing. Ethics and Religion are one and the same. Man, in whose being divinity is reflected, must be true to the Law of God wherein he will be taught how to model his ways after the divine pattern. He will find in it and its precepts that the God whom Israel must revere is the apotheosis of all ethical qualities [this and preceding verse]. The Torah, true to its function, is an infallible guide to perfection, begins with an act of kindness -- God clothing Adam and eve--and concludes with another gracious act--the burial of Moses (Sot. 14a. In this connection, it must be pointed out that just to care for the dead, whilst being impervious to the needs of the living poor, is not to be Godlike. God not only buried Moses; He clothed Adam and Eve, too.)
