This week's Torah content is sponsored by a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous, and told me, "No thanks needed!" so I'm not going to thank them. Synopsis: In today’s episode I discuss my conflicted feelings about my imminent return to New York and how Marcus Aurelius helped me to accept, use, and “love my fate.” Related Rabbi Schneeweiss Content:- Putting The Stoic Jew Podcast on Sacred Pause- My Stoic Injury and TSJ Summer UpdateSources: - Aurelius, Meditations 5:20 (medallion available for purchase at The Daily Stoic store)- Thoreau, Walden----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
