Description

Synopsis: On Day #5 of my January 2022 solo cabin retreat, I got a call from my Rosh ha’Yeshiva. The subject? Hashgachah pratis. This longer-than-normal episode is my recollection of that conversation, supplemented by my own extensive footnotes and reflections. I’m posting this as an episode of The Stoic Jew Podcast AND the Machshavah Lab podcast for reasons that are explained therein.  מקורות:ברכת הגומלאסתר ד:ידדברים לא:יז-יח עם פירוש הרלב"גתהלים קכא:דאבות א:יא עם פירוש הרמב"םאבות א:ג עם סיכום פירוש הרמב"םרמב"ם - הקדמה לפרק חלקרמב"ם - מאמר תחיית המתיםמשלי טז:א----------This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Ann with gratitude to Rabbi Moskowitz for teaching us and enabling us to have better lives.----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss. I am, first and foremost, an Orthodox Jew. My primary area of focus is the teachings of Shlomo ha'Melech (King Solomon) in Mishlei (Proverbs) and Koheles (Ecclesiastes). I also consider myself to be a student of the Stoic masters: Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius. Over the past two decades I have been exploring the relationship between Judaism and Stoicism - where they overlap, where they differ, and how they complement each other. This year I started a daily reading of Marcus Aurelius with an aim to explore these questions. I'll read a passage from Aurelius's Meditations and then muse (or meditate aloud) on my thoughts about what he said and what the Torah would have to say. As Seneca taught: "Each day acquire something that will fortify you against poverty, against death, indeed against other misfortunes as well; and after you have run over many thoughts, select one to be thoroughly digested that day" (Letter #2). If this podcast serves that purpose, then it will have been of value.
