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
The Obstacle is the Way to Knowledge of Hashem (Aurelius – Meditations 8:32-33)

Synopsis: This episode was brought to you by insomnia, burnout, Iron Archer, human nature, and the human struggle. And if you were one of the 7-10 individuals across the Atlantic who woke up to discover that there was no new episode this morning, this is why.
