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.
The Stoic Jew
Thank Iron Archer (and IFS) for Today’s Non-Episode Episode
Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!
Synopsis: Today’s episode was an experiment prompted by an IFS (Internal Family Systems) self-therapy session I had in which I attempted to gain insight into why I didn’t want to record an episode today. I debated whether to record this, and even after that, I debated whether to publish it. In the end I decided that even though I don’t explain the IFS aspect in detail, and it comes across as somewhat crazy sounding, there’s enough Stoic content to likely be of use to somebody. And who knows? Perhaps my interest and practice of IFS will lead to new vistas within Stoicism, or within my own Stoic development!
