May We Have an Elul Filled with Suffering and a Painful New Year (Epictetus – Discourses 3:23)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Synopsis: In today’s inaugural episode of TSJ Season 10 (Fall 2022-2023) I make a case for why we should all aspire to pain and suffering during “teshuvah season” (i.e. Elul and the Aseres Ymei Teshuvah). Not ALL kinds of pain, but a specific kind of suffering which necessarily accompanies true growth and development.Related Rabbi Schneeweiss Content:- Bruce Lee: On Lefum Tzaara Agra Sources:- Epictetus, Discourses 3:23- Avos 5:23- Bruce Lee- Rabbi Joseph B.
