The influence of Stoicism on Mishnah

The Stoics were the first to reconcile philosophy, religion and ethics. They formulated the philosophical ideas left over from Aristotle's philosophy; They preceded them in the form of moral covenants aiming at human happiness and avoiding, as much as possible, grief and pain by presenting a philosophical and moral vision that would make him believe in God and destiny and destiny and transcend the human soul above matter; Which ultimately results in man living according to a moral charter based on contemplation, asceticism, righteous deeds, and delinquency in peace in his relations with others. Since Stoic thought is largely consistent with normal human instinct. Rabbinic Judaism, represented in the Mishnah, was influenced by Stoic philosophy, which resulted in an ethical philosophical material that combines the characteristics of religious belief and the moral charter from a philosophical perspective that attempts to be consistent with nature by adhering to common sense. The aim is for a person to live a happy life in this world. This material appeared clearly in (Pirkei Avot :The Chapters of the Fathers) of the Mishnah. The chapters of the Fathers explain the moral charter of Jewish law, and provide the Jew with the guide that guides him to happiness in this world and great victory in the Hereafter, which is in great agreement with the Stoic doctrine in his view of life and the end he seeks from it.
