Description
Synopsis: I didn’t set out to record an episode about a Stoic perspective on Shavuos, and yet, here we are! It just so happens that the letter of Seneca we’ve been reading is perfectly aligned with Judaism’s stance on this topic, and it just so happens that this topic is relevant to Shavuos.
