A Minor Work, Unfortunately

 


A Cure for Sorrow (Sori HaYagon): A Rabbinic Guide to Suffering by Shem-Tov Falaquera is the closest Judaism will come to offering a consistent stoic philosophy.  Unfortunately, the quality of this treatise is not very high.  For instance, it certainly comes nowhere near the soaring heights of Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations.  As far as I know not even the groundwork has been prepared for a stoic philosophical take on Judaism. We must all wait for one.
