Sadness

Sadness is a central part of the human experience. Biblical narratives include sadness as motivating biblical figures — even God. Halakhic texts limit when it is acceptable to be sad and dictate when one must be. Other texts include psychological insights, self-help advice, and prayers and meditations for help to overcome the pain.
