A Cure for Sorrow (Sori HaYagon): A Rabbinic Guide to Suffering - Paperback

by Yitzhak Berdugo (Translator), Shem-Tov Falaquera (Author)

Amidst the inevitable suffering in the human experience, this book offers a path to transcend it with dignity, wisdom, and inherent strength. This English translation of a classical Sepharadi work of Musar draws from Torah, worldly wisdom, and psychology, to reframe adversity as opportunities for transformation.

Rabbi Shem-Tov Ibn Falaquera (1225-1295) was a scholar and poet who endeavored to make philosophical and scientific knowledge accessible to his fellow Jews. His writings showcase his role as a bridge between cultures and disciplines, striving to inspire mainstream Judaism toward intellectual and experiential growth.

This new and annotated English translation is accompanied by the original Hebrew text.
