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.
