Description

Length: 21 minutesSynopsis: And The Stoic Jew Podcast is BACK! Or is it? Well, it's back for at least this episode, in which I reflect on 1000 days of gratitude and muse on the relationship between my gratitude accountability practice and the mitzvah of recounting the Exodus from Egypt. Whether this marks the return of regular TSJ episodes is up to my listeners!Related Episodes About Gratitude:- 7/8/21: The Gratitude Accountability Experiment- 10/15/21: 100 Days of Gratitude- 11/29/21: TSJ Interlude: Post-Thanksgiving Musings- 2/18/22: 225 Days of Gratitude- 5/4/22: TSJ Interlude: 300 Days of Gratitude- 7/11/22: 365 Days of Gratitude- 11/23/22: 500 Days of Gratitude- 5/7/23: Purim, Providence, and 600 Days of Gratitude- 8/9/23: Two Years (Plus) of GratitudeSources:- Aurelius, Meditations 7:7- Devarim 26:3, Saadia Gaon, Ibn Ezra, Ibn Kaspi- Haggadah shel Pesach- Rambam: Sefer ha'Mitzvos, Aseh #157-----The Torah content from now through Pesach has been sponsored by the Koffsky family, in loving memory of Adira (a"h), who loved big ideas and asking big questions.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

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.
