"The Babylonian Talmud" and the "Jerusalem Talmud" show a myriad of sorrowful situations in various levels and circumstances and a variety of human behavior in these situations. The causes and expressions of sorrow amongst the Sages are different from its parallels amongst common people or women. The descriptions of sorrow vary between the Babylonian and the Jerusalem Talmud. "Sorrow and Distress in the Talmud" discusses more than 50 stories from both the Babylonian and the Jerusalem Talmud focusing on those issues.

"In a work that collects and categorizes narratives on the basis of the use of a particular term it is surprising to find such a high degree of continuity in the way Valler links nearly every story she analyzes to the one that follows in what becomes a set of flowing discussions that make up each of the chapters. Valler’s study of stories of sorrow in Talmudic literature exhibits an all too rare combination of scholarly erudition and didactic practicality. This book will fuel further scholarship and also be useful in teaching. It will make a valuable addition to wide variety of Jewish studies collections."
