Question
Is it permissible to cry on Shabbat?
Answer
If the crying causes distress, it is forbidden. However, if a person is distressed and crying will help alleviate the pain, there is a difference of opinion among the poskim, and leniency is possible. Crying out of attachment to Hashem during prayer is certainly permitted.
