Amidst the inevitable suffering in the human experience, this book (Sori HaYagon) offers a path to transcend it with dignity, wisdom, and inherent strength. This new English translation and annotation 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.
