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.

DEUT1076 The Bible's opposition to the desecration of a body extends even to the corpse of a criminal. How much more should one be careful to avoid degrading the body of a law-abiding person. Tradition prescribes the proper conduct which constitutes honor of the dead. A corpse must not be left unattended. It should be watched up to the time of the burial to prevent its desecration by rodents (Berachot 18a; Rema, Yoreh Deah 373:5). The body should be washed and cleansed (Shabbat 151a). It should be swaddled in shrouds (ibid.). The virtues of a deceased should be lauded by eulogizers (Moed Katan 8a). It is the obligation of all people living in the community of the deceased to attend the funeral service (Berachot 18a) ... even people engaged in labor or in commerce should take time out to attend the funeral service (Moed Katan 27b).
