The Stoic Jew
Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss
Frequency: 1 episode/6d. Total Eps: 332

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.

My Oura Ring Was Stolen! ... But Only In My Mind (Epictetus - Discourses 2.18-30)
Season 16 · Episode 3
dimanche 15 septembre 2024 • Duration 21:33
Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!
Length: 21 minutes 25 seconds
Synopsis: There's nothing like a real-world example to showcase Stoic principles. This incident that happened to me a couple of weeks ago illustrates one of the core ideas in Epictetus's teachings: the use of "impressions." Not only that, but it also exemplifies one of the chief benefits of tefilah.

Length: 14 minutes 6 seconds
Synopsis: In an effort to jumpstart weekly TSJ episodes, I've decided to start from the beginning of Meditations Book 7 and work my way through. Chapter 1 is very reminiscent of Koheles ... or is it? You can be the judge of that.

The Stoic Jew Shiur #01: Marcus's Morning Reminder (Meditations 2:1)
Season 15 · Episode 1
jeudi 27 juin 2024 • Duration 01:37:00
Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!
Length: 1 hour 37 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (6/26/24) was our inaugural "Stoic Jew Shiur"! After a brief overview of who Marcus Aurelius was and what his Meditations are, we dove RIGHT into the text of Book 2 Chapter 1. We quickly discovered that this opening paragraph was rich in ideas and fruitful in providing insights into how we - or at least, how I - learn the writings of Stoics and non-Torah other philosophers and thinkers as Orthodox Jews. The shiur was scheduled for an hour, but after 90 minutes, we were still deep in our analysis. We decided to stop. Next time (בג"ה) we'll review what we learned, finish our analysis, and move on to the next chapter!
For a video recording of the shiur, in which I display the text and notes, check out the YouTube version.

Stoic Authenticity (Aurelius - Meditations 5:3)
Season 6 · Episode 32
mercredi 12 janvier 2022 • Duration 16:45
Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!
Synopsis: What does it mean to "live an authentic life" or to "be an authentic person"? In this episode I argue that the answers given by Judaism and Stoicism are closely related, if not identical - in contrast to the popular conception. I then apply this idea to a rather amusing experience that happened to me a few months ago.

The Waltz of Fate (Epictetus - Enchiridion 8; Aurelius - Meditations 5:20)
Season 6 · Episode 31
mardi 11 janvier 2022 • Duration 16:55
Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!
Synopsis: This episode begins with a review of what I think of as the three stages of Stoic development. I then share a new way of conceptualizing these stages as three ways we relate to fate (i.e. to those things we cannot control), which I apply to a situation of uncertainty I am currently facing in my life.

Stoic Joy vs. Simchah shel Mitzvah (Seneca – Letter #59: On Pleasure and Joy)
Season 6 · Episode 29
jeudi 30 décembre 2021 • Duration 19:23
Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!
Synopsis: I recently attended the wedding of a dear friend. It would be accurate to say that the dancing at the wedding started out the same as at any Orthodox Jewish wedding and ended as a rave. In this episode I argue that this was a GOOD thing, and that it reflects a concept I suspect is unique to Judaism: simchah shel mitzvah. The episode concludes with a reflection on how the melody of the popular song “Hashem Melech” was taken from "C'est la vie," by Algerian raï singer Khaled, which is a song about the life of taivah (base pleasure).

How Much of Our Suffering is Performative? (Seneca – Letter #63: On Grief for Lost Friends)
Season 6 · Episode 28
jeudi 23 décembre 2021 • Duration 10:55
Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!
Synopsis: In today’s (short!) episode we compare Epictetus’s unrealistic and inhuman standards of grieving (or lack thereof) with the tempered and realistic alternative taught by Seneca, as codified by the Rambam in the Mishneh Torah. The explanation Seneca provides for why people grieve excessively raises an interesting question about the psychodynamic forces behind our own experiences of suffering and loss.
