Description
In today’s episode we begin a new letter on a topic we haven’t explored before: friendship. We compare Seneca’s criteria for real friends vs. fake friends with the Rambam’s broader criteria, as stated in his commentary on Pirkei Avos. Which classification of friends do you agree with more?----------Sources:- Click here to access the full text of Seneca's Letter #3- Pirkei Avos 1:6, with Rambam's commentary----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
