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.

DEUT1313 Now would it enter your mind that he should eat sticks and stones? Why, then, need "grapes" be mentioned? The intent is that he should not peel figs [and eat only the core, in which instance he would eat a greater number of figs], and he should not suck out [the wine of] grapes [and discard the rest] (Yerushalmi Bava Metzia 7:2)

DEUT1316 This tells me only of a vineyard. Whence do I derive [the same halachah] for all [similar] instances? It is derived from "vineyard," viz.: Just as a vineyard is characterize3d by being a growth of the soil, and at its fruition the laborer eats of it, so, the laborer may eat of all growths of the soil at their fruition (Bava Metzia 87b)

DEUT1329 R. Pappa said to Rava: If he found in her neither "nakedness" nor a "thing" [of any kind], and he divorced her, what is the halachah? [i.e., is the divorce valid?] He answered: Since Scripture made manifest in respect to a ravisher (22:29): "He shall not be able to send her away all of his days" -- all of his days he is subject to the positive commandant of taking her back -- it is there that this was made manifest; but here, what was done was done [and the divorce stands] (GIttin 90a)
