You Will Die Today ... OR Tomorrow (Aurelius - 4:47)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Synopsis: Today's episode is about Marcus Aurelius's memento mori thought experiment: If God told you that you are going to die either today OR tomorrow, would the difference of a day make a difference? And would Judaism offer a different response than Stoicism? This week's Torah content has been sponsored by an anonymous donor, in memory of her grandmother, Golda Henya bat Devora a"h.Related Rabbi Schneeweiss Content: - How to Enjoy the Present Day As If It’s Your Last (Aurelius – Meditations 7:69)- Aurelius - Meditations 4:17: Memento Mori ... but How?Sources:- Aurelius, Meditations 4:47- Seneca, Consolation to Marcia 2:13- Koheles 6:6- Berachos 5b with Maharsha Chidushei Aggados----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
