You Can’t Be Present Yesterday (Aurelius - Meditations 2:14)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Synopsis: Today’s episode was brought to you by an amusingly profound epiphany I had, prompted by an interrupted sleep I had, a mistake in app-usage I made, and a book I happened to be reading. If you’re looking to make time for learning in your busy schedule, then perhaps this insight will come from just the right weird angle to make a difference.Sources:- Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, pp.135-136- Aurelius, Meditations 2:14- Rabbeinu Yonah on Avos 2:4 -----This week's Torah content has been sponsored by my friend and colleague, Rabbi Dr. Elie Feder. Rabbi Feder recently published a book called Gematria Refigured: A New Look at How the Torah Conveys Ideas Through Numbers (2022, Mosaica Press). The approach to gematria he presents in this book is neither fluffy nor fanciful, but rational. If you're interested in some sample chapters, click here. If you have a social media platform and are interested in promoting or reviewing Rabbi Feder's book, let me know and I'll put the two of you in touch. The book is available for purchase at https://mosaicapress.com/product/gematria-refigured/.-----If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
