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 | 28:15 curses — DEUT1537 (Continued from [[EXOD315]] Exodus 19:5...

DEUT1537 (Continued from [[EXOD315]] Exodus 19:5 heed TZADIK 253). Concerning the curses it is written [this verse]: "And it shall be if you do not listen to the voice of Hashem your God to observe to do our His mitzvos and statutes that I command you this day, then there shall come upon you all of these curses and they shall overtake you," and ( ibid.11:27-28): "The blessing, if you listen to the mitzvos of Hashem your God... and the curse, if you do not listen to the mitzvos of Hashem your God." All of these "listenings" denote not the listening of the ear alone, but rather willingness to do. And so we find with our father Yaakov of blessed memory, that he acquiesced to his mother's will and heeded her counsel in the episode of the blessings and succeeded in receiving them; and he acquiesced in listening to his father and mother and took a wife as directed by them. For this reason, he merited the twelve tribes issuing from him. And it is written (Mishlei 1:33): "And he who listens to me will dwell securely and in tranquility from fear of evil."
