The Stoic Jew
My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss. I am, first and foremost, an Orthodox Jew. I am also a student of the Stoic masters: Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius. This podcast is dedicated to exploring the relationship between Judaism and Stoicism - where they overlap, where they differ, and how they complement each other. I also use this podcast to think out loud about how to apply the principles of Judaism and Stoicism to my own life, with all its ups and downs.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!
Synopsis: Today we celebrate our 100th episode! In this episode I reflect on the production of this podcast through the perspectives provided by Epictetus, Aurelius, Thoreau, and Rabbi Moskowitz. (And yes, Epictetus actually talks about what makes someone a good Stoic Jew.)
