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.

DEUT524 The Rabbis taught: "And you shall place" ["vesamtem"] -- "sam tam" [a perfect drug]. Torah is hereby compared to a drug of life, the Holy One Blessed be He saying to Israel: "My sons, I have created an evil inclination, and I have created Torah as its antidote. If you occupy yourselves with Torah study, you will not fall into its hand" (Kiddushin 30b)

DEUT531 From here it was derived that when a child begins to speak, his father should speak with him in "the holy language" and teach him Torah; and if he does not do so, it is as if he would bury him, it being written: "And you shall teach them to your sons to speak in them… so that your days will be multiplied and the days of your children" -- and the positive implies the negative (Sifrei)
