August 10, 2022 Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss Season 9 Episode 10
The Stoic Jew
Don’t Cry Over Spilled Almond Extract (Epictetus – Discourses 1:6)
Show Notes

Synopsis: Today’s episode was prompted by a minor kitchen mishap and my childish reaction to it. I didn’t set out to record an episode about runny noses, uncurable diseases, and the limits of prayer, but that’s what I ended up recording.
