Reincarnation in Judaism, Part 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- As we continue exploring the Jewish conception of the afterlife, we uncover where exactly is “Gehinnom” and what is “Abadon”? We address the great theodicy question: why do good and innocent people suffer? Can a person experience “Hell on Earth”? And what does reincarnation have to do with it? Plus: which iteration of a person will resurrect at the End of Days? And why is it that people do not remember their past lives?
For Part 1 of this series, see here: • Reincarnation in Judaism

As a follower of Sikh faith I find this very interesting. Love to hear the ideologies that connect people from different paths.
Wow! 30 min in this series keeps getting better and better! Thank you Efraim for bringing us this deep teachings in a easy to understand way, thank you for all you do! Baruch HaShem!
My pleasure!
@@EfraimPalvanov Rabbi, it would be interesting if you adressed the following subjects on the next part of the series:
1-Can a person reincarnate as a different sex? That is, a man reincarnating as a woman and vice versa?
I read somewhere it could happen as the "three strikes" for sinful soul, or is it just natural that a soul may split into sparks for bodies of different gender? Or is it also normal for good souls to come here and be tested foe improvememt as a different gender?
2-Somewhere I also read that only men reincarnate. Does it mean every woman is a new soul? Or that every woman is the missing part of her soul mate's spark?
3-Adam and Eve: no human existed before them. Does it mean, Cain, Abel, Seth and all their children were, along with the original couple, the original brand new souls of whom we all descend? Or were they, somehow, sharing the soul spark of their parents and some form of split incarnation of them? Or, if we accept evolution, maybe they were reincarnations of the previous homo sapiens who lived before Adam and Eve?
Excelent lesson again. Its become part of my morning routine to listen to your classes. You helped me go through some really tough times and have hope for the future. I've even decided to study Hebrew because of the words you already taught me.
Wish you the best!
@@EfraimPalvanov Greeting Rabbi, I've got a few questions you may have already planned go addess in your next vid, but just in case I would still like to write them down 😁:
1-Were all of Adam and Eve's children the original souls all of us reincarnated from as their sparks split? Would that also apply to Noah's grandchildren? Would the splitting of their sparks explain how billions of souls originated from only a few?
2-Did any of the souls of the ante-diluvians reincarnate to get another chance? Did those descending from the Nephilim get another chance despite their angelic ancestry?
3-Somewhere I read women do not need to reincarnate and instead are purified in Gehinom right away after death. Does that mean all women are original souls? Somewhere else I read that all souls are originally mixed in gender and that women are the female half that gets reunited to the male in this life after marriage.
4-Can men reincarnate as women and vice versa? Somewhere I read that some men reincarnate into sterile women after certain sins, or is it just natural that such swittch occur even to righteous people as a test?
I believe it was Rabbi Yechiel who said that Isaac's soul was originally female but received a male body so Abraham could have a male heir, something around those lines.
Would reincarnation explain the existence of intergender people or those with ambiguous bodies?
5-Can children share the spark souls of their parents? Can somebody be the reincarnation of their sires?
Listening to your lessons has become my morning ritual. Listening to you and your audience has broadened my knowledge like very few things before and helped me go through hard times recently. I'm now even seriously considering studying Hebrew, haha.
Best wishes to all of you, Rav🤝
Fabulous lesson.i wait every week for your lessons.
Wishing 6ou a wonderful Shabbat
יישר כוח ותבורך מפי עליון
Thank you, Shabbat Shalom!
Wow! Every class is just more mind blowing than the last one, R’ Efi! And you present it so well and so clearly! Thank you so much for these shiurim, Rabbi!! Looking forward to the next one!
My pleasure, appreciate the feedback :)
I am so happy I came upon your UA-cam page . I feel like we 43 years old I’m back in seminary and learning so much ! Ty so much I am binge watching ur entire channel
Very glad to hear, thank you!
What up to my favorite Rabbi.
Do you have any clue how painful it's been being born as a gentile with a Jewish soul?
I'm 47 now and much of my entire body is covered in scars. The pain and suffering that I have endured and triumphed over thus far.
I've been dead 10 times, once for every bit of 50 minutes. The Devine Creator always brought me back to life.
Right now, I'm experiencing a new test and a new state of suffering. I honestly believe God wants to for the first time in my life, ask for help. I honestly feel like I'm swimming against the current of life, all by self. Right now I'm gaining my strength and I'm getting stronger everyday, little by little.
I sincerely looking forward until the day that we may meet and have conversations.
Sincearly, Matthew
This is now my favourite channel. Thank you for blessing us all with your great teachings. Shalom. Xx
Glad to hear, thank you!
I am a Christian but love weeding though your teaching good stuff
Means nothing that you are Christian, Judaism Hinduism Islamist or any other ismist sorry to wake you up 😅
Same here
Raise your hand if it feels like "gehenom" wondering what happened in that walk in the park. The people demand to know, Chacham Efi, share!!!
Lol, I will one day, b'ezrat Hashem.
Hah, came to the comments to see if someone said it first! 😂
🤯 mind blowing. Thank you for this teaching which lays out reincarnation in the most logical sense I’ve ever heard.
My pleasure!
What do you say to a man that changes lives. (2) Words: Thank you! If I said it 10,000 times it would be (1) less than…. Thank you. Thank you for your courage. Thank you making (the) difference. Shabbat Shalom, great man of God. Time to Rest.
Thank you Ken, really appreciate the feedback!
Speak with respect to the teacher. He’s sharing a teaching for free. If you don’t like it, exit with grace.
I was really happy to have stumbled on your channel. Great convincing lectures. I also appreciate the sephardic insights, being a member of the only sephardic synagogue west of Toronto here in Vancouver.
Glad to hear, thank you!
Thank you Rabbi Efraim. At a certain point in my life (after much meditation) I was allowed to meet and know of other ruachs of my neshamah that exist across space and time, so all you have said - it is true. One of the reasons why I am so antiwar these days, is because I know the consequence for killing in war is the same as Nebuchadnezzar - and not just for one life but for many. I believe this fate is compassionate as well as punishment. It was surprising to me to find this wisdom in Judaism, and I thank you for laying it out so clearly.
My pleasure, thanks for sharing.
I grew up being taught Christianity, quite strictly I might add, I fell away when I was in highschool after vehemently defending the gospel for the first couple years, I did the same detective work I did against my atheist classmates and found myself skeptical of Christianity and therefore became an Agnostic. Still not sure if I believe the supernatural powers and stuff in general but I think Judaism is a lot closer to the truth than some others.
its because the ideology of Christianity which went to the westward thru the history is farther to the Judaism concept than to the one went to the eastward. Both Judaism and Christianity are from the same God.
Love this❤ Shabbat shalom
Thank you! I'm learning so much!
My pleasure!
Such a wise man! Thank you Rabi for explanation.
Thank you!
So many questions is clear now👌👏🇮🇱
Merci pour votre sagesse rabbi ..
Avec plaisir!
Interesting video, thank you Rav!
My pleasure!
brilliant
Thanks for the informative lectures, Rav. I have a question, however: what about the words of the sages the greatest pleasure of this World is less then 1/60 of the lowest of the pleasures of the times to come?
My pleasure. I don't think it was quite phrased that way. The Talmud in Berakhot (57b) says the pleasure of Shabbat is a sixtieth of the World to Come, while the Mishnah in Pirkei Avot (4:17) states "more precious is one hour of repentance and good deeds in this world, than all the life of the World to Come; and more precious is one hour of tranquility in the World to Come, than all the life of this world."
@EfraimPalvanov Thank you for the explanation, Rabbi. However, to be honest. I hope you adddress it FURTHER. See, even when rephrased correctly, I still see it as stating that the World to Come has much more "pleasures" to offer, (even if the entire pleasure is narrowed down to "tranquility." You do not have to understand it in physical terms, could be angreat satisfaction from bonding with G-d through learning Torah... Still it is saying that that "tranquility" is quite intense. After all, if we think of it, defining "pleasure," is just challenging: I may love the taste of ice cream.... but, really, it is the endorphins in the brain that get secreted, that my "pleasure center" registers... And people can artificially gerlt a lot more endorphins without any ice cream .... just by using a drug, sadly. So, my questions still stands, I thinK. I hope you discuss it further. Thank you, and call haKavod. I am very glad I discovered your lectures!
I find this kind of stuff very interesting. How does someone attend a live session?
What if someone has a lifetime of Gehinnom? That has been my life. I'm 61 & most of my life has been intense suffering. I'm wondering if my soul was in a wicked person in a previous life & now I am paying for the sins of a past life???
I'd like to know too.
Thanks for this wonderful shiur. You touched on the concept of a soul incarnating into more than one body for techiat hametim. Are there any Jewish sources for the concept of twin flames, i.e. a soul splitting and incarnating into two bodies in this current world?
Very welcome :) Yes, will give examples of this in Part 3.
@@EfraimPalvanov Wow I’m very excited to hear since I have firsthand experience of this but have not been able to find Jewish sources to help me through this difficult journey.
Shalom Rabbi... just wondering what happened with Noah, Ham and Canaan? Could you please clarify regards reincarnation...toda Rabbah 👍
Hope to speak a bit about this in Part 3, stay tuned.
@@EfraimPalvanov G d bless you sir toda Rabbah 👍 looking forward 👍

Luke 17:21 and
3) Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you.
Gospel of thomas
Great lecture Rabbi Palvanov. So informative. I was wondering, the reason why the Torah in general don’t speak much about the stage when the soul left the body (what other religions refers to heaven or hell), is because according to Torah, there is not much to speak about that stage, it’s in general not very interesting, because the soul will receive its punishment (hell) and rewards (heaven) in a physical body anyway, that’s why the focus is on physical existence, the stage when the soul is in a body. Do I get it right? Another question, is there any suffering or enjoyment when the soul is out of the body? I understood that Maimonides thinks that all is spiritual punishment and reward. Another question, is that stage when the soul is out the body called Sheol?
Thanks! Regarding Sheol, please see here: www.mayimachronim.com/perspectives-on-hell/ Maimonides seems to have held that the body cannot experience true pleasure/reward, and the real reward will be "spiritual" in the afterlife, devoid of body. I think the simple reason why the Torah avoids speaking openly about the afterlife is because God wants us to focus on the here and now. Also, one shouldn't serve God simply to earn a reward in the afterlife.
7:22 - 12:45 - 16:14 - 20:43
Sublime.
Shabbat shalom❤ always listen and forwardShare the story pleeez
Thank you, Shabbat Shalom :)
We suffer a lot more than 12 months . Maybe that's the idea of Rosh Hashanah . Every year we get judged and we may have a good year or maybe Gehenom?????
As you give the example of the candle, do you believe that the air is the spirit that keep the candle keep on burning.
As a celibate Jew I find it comforting that even tho I'm 36 and Im not married, I am grateful that i can fulfill the mitzvah properly eventually; and rather being insecure about the concept of "forty year old virgin"-- I embrace it (now, at least as a baal teshuvah) as an archetype from the Torah/Journey-- from Yitschaak the first natal Jew, the first Sabra, first Moshiach (of Yoseph/Yesod) who married as a forty year old virgin. (Sure it's still EMBARRASSING to frankly discuss in an olam sheker, but that's anything intimately spiritual, personal. I just wish (as temporary beguinage, like how with nazirite dry chastity, spouses may shed) Beta Israel monasticism survived and that there was an Beta Israel monastery in my town where I could be an oblate, rather than only a Trinitarian (I think last Sunday was holiday of doctrine of Trinity, Trinity Sunday) monastery-university.
Was it Ben Zoma, the Talmudic Sage that was celibate? -- was he maybe a dying remnant of Essenism?-- (not first Western monasticism, I think Pythagoreanism who studied under Yirmiyahu acc. to R. Ariel bar Tzadok) --before lions share of Essenism amalgamated with Pharisaicism to create Rabbinicism (or did First Rabbi, Mekoqeq Ezra create Rabbinicism?) (was the Weeping Prophet celibate? Is the Mishnaic story with 'hot tub' considered historic or midrashic?)
28:00 So what you're saying is that the moustache man was rewarded for conducting the shoah by having his soul extinguished, thus the freeing him from the cycle of reincarnations? Is there no other way to have my soul extinguished? I don't have the resources for another shoah :(
- Adûnâi
You stated that “the soul is pure and cannot suffer pain” what is the difference between the soul and the spirit that are part of the body (body +soul +spirit = living human being).
There are five general parts to the soul, explained here: www.mayimachronim.com/a-mystical-map-of-your-soul/
Thank you for another incredible Torah class... towards the end I couldn't hear the questions so clearly so although I'm pretty certain my question was asked and answered, just wanting to verify... is it accurate that there can be multiple souls in 1 body?
Yes, it is possible for one body to contain multiple spiritual sparks. Will speak more about this in Part 3.
Thanks for clarifying, looking forward to the next episode. Thank you for all you put into sharing Torah with us, it really lights me up
I am very fascinated by your videos. I really like the ones connected the Bible and Ancient Israel to China. You had talked a lot about Sin from the Table of Nations as the father of China. Do you know if the Qin Dynasty was named for him?
Thanks! It's possible, though the Qin Dynasty began many centuries later.
Yes I know but I wonder if the dynasty is calling itself after the father of the nation.@@EfraimPalvanov
תודה רבה ❤
Thank you for all you share. Do you have a commentary on Zechariah?
My pleasure. Any specific chapter you're looking for?
@@EfraimPalvanov I have been fascinated by all 14 chapters, but lack some historical context and symbolism. I have only heard a Christian perspective but I am seeking the Jewish understanding and I don’t want to learn what a Jew believes from a Christian. It seems like a Messianic book and chapters 3-5 seem like the Angel is also teaching parallel to or through a temple procession. But again, this is a Jewish text, I am interested in a Jewish understanding. Thank you very much, you are kind.

@@EfraimPalvanov thank you
shalom
Thank you so much! Love your lectures, but want to make a comment about your words that "soul has to come back in a body, to receive reward," "reward is described as very physical," "gold," etc. It seems to me that once it mentions such things as "gold,"we know it is speaking metaphorically... After all, what is so.good about gold? It is only as good as a bitcoin... how much of a "reward" can it be, in the world that does not have any shortage of resources, such as the Messianic Era is supposed to be?
Hello Efraim. I am happy with the channel you created and what you share. Thank you very much. What do you think about Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag (Baal Ha Sulam), and what do you think about the idea of healing a person from selfishness (ego)?
Reincarnation is not only jewish concept it is already present in oldest religion hinduism,🕉
Shalom brother, I have a question. If a child makes a mistake and suffers, even the parents suffer. But the text says; that the parents should not suffer for the sin of the child. How the Torah explain this ?
What you are describing would be indirect suffering, due to a person's close relationship with another. What the Torah speaks of is directly transferring the sins of one person to another.
@@EfraimPalvanov tru, how do you think God experiment the suffering, direct or indirect to understand what suffering is ?
What’s the purpose of kaddish. If reincarnation is the tikun
I wrote one possible answer here: www.mayimachronim.com/time-gravity-and-free-will/
It’s appointed to man, once to live and the judgment.
Your text twists aren’t going to change that
Just wondering how gan Eden plugs into your simulation shir
I really enjoy your lectures so thank you. Keep them coming 😊 I'd like yo ask though, about Job, if one cannot pay for another's sin, why was Job sacrificing for his children? Or does he make them come to sacrifice? Hence their sacrifice not being sincere, caused them to become collateral in Job's suffering?
Glad to hear :) I will speak all about Job and why he went what he went through in Part 3. Stay tuned!
Thank you. You did leave a bit of a cliff hanger. 😊
@@EfraimPalvanov Yeah, because I always thought Scripture said, "he was righteous." My guess before hearing your lecture on the matter was he was righteous, but still needed to learn "humility." Knowing the story as I do, and seeing how he was lamenting so before Hashem, and Hashem's response: "Who is this who darkens my counsel.....and where were you when I did this, that and the other thing?" (Loosely paraphrased) Finally, it shows Job learning his lesson, and repenting before YHWH, and then everything is restored. So, my guess is....he had some rectifying of his own still to do. Now, I will look forward to your teaching on the matter, and see how close I was to understanding....LOL. Job was even a bit "self righteous" with his friends wouldn't you say? I'm sure some "meant well."
So if everyone is reincarnated and they come back to their bodies for judgement, can't we say, with the world's population. that the resurrection has happened and everyone living today are the resurrected/reincarnated bodies? Reincarnation is Resurrection.
Will speak more about this in Part 3, stay tuned.
Did not watch yet the videos..but this was one of my old unpopular beliefs. Somehow, i had a feeling that we keep returning for any unfinished "bussineee" until it's perfected and we "graduate". It is not punishment or judgement in a harsh sense..something undesirable, but a very beautiful maturation of our soul ❤ and infinite chances to be perfected. Now i go to the video(s) shalom
Dear Rabbi, thank you for this lecture. I have a question. 6000 years of murder, torture, strife, sickness, famine, and working to uphold the Torah ,for only 1000 years of reward and then press the restart button? This hardly seems like A just rward for all of that and then to just start over the pain again? I don’t understand. Furthermore, what is the relevance of saying 1000 years of reward when you believe the righteous are already there now therefore it is clear that 1000 years is not applicable, statement. someone from 5000 years ago has been in the world to come this entire time then clearly 1000 years is not an accurate number
what do you have to say about Rabbi Alon Anava’s near death experience and his negative experiences in a dark “painful” place?
Efi teaching is in alignment with Rabbi Anova’s NDE.
so like Purgatory isn't genome?
Whats The sin of the children so that they bear the sin of their fathers? What my sin o Lord to carry my grandfathers sins? What I have do
Is split personality or multiple personality disorder can be viewed as many souls suffering in one body or just one soul suffering a curious disease?
I think it's more of a mental issue, but it could be that a person is tapping into memories of past lives.
Hello, my question is what happen if the souls has deserved to go in hel 4th time and getting worst each time ... what happen after the 4th time?
Hell is a last resort, there shouldn't be another time after that.
One question, though....in Obadiah, it clearly teaches "EDOM WILL COMPLETELY BE DESTROYED." I hear the Jewish belief is that Edom is Rome or Christianity. So, we can take this one of 2 ways. Initially, I believed all Christians would be "cut off and destroyed" from this Book, but now I am wondering....could it just mean that the "Religion itself" would be destroyed? Or Rome more specifically or the 3 Romes as you taught in other video? So, perhaps the people themselves would be able to continue if the were righteous in this life? Please clarify if you could? Thank you.
Please see the short video here: ua-cam.com/video/Se_wARH0iWw/v-deo.html
@@EfraimPalvanov Will you be uploading Reincarnation Part 3 soon? I'm looking forward to this continuing series. Shalom.
Hi Efraim, thank you for your lecture. I'm not sure if I agree with you in that the sins of our parents don't go to their children. Because the energy of your parents do trickle down to their children, especially if they treated their children a certain way. I'm assuming the children are scarred from negative interactions, therefore they have to carry the burden of what their parents gave them in this generation. Hopefully we improve over each generation. I also feel like since we can do mitzvot in the honor of the deceased then all of our averot that we learned from them also counts against them. Am I viewing this wrong? Thank you
ya, if their sin becomes yours, then you own it. His statement is aligned with Torah, you may not pay for the sins you don t commit somewhere else than here. imagine, the children of criminals, they may be ostracized by their peers growing up. there is suffering in this world for parents sin. it s a split view from gd s world where his laws and decrees are validated and reality of human interaction.
So assuming we reach the final resurrect for only 1000 years? No offence meant, but that only feels long from a human perspective at year one. The soul is infinite so 1000 years might feel like a blip. How is that a reward?
Please see the class here: ua-cam.com/video/pUy_HGBDmoI/v-deo.html
Thank you, Rabbi, I listened to your suggested shiur, and although I enjoyed it very much I didn’t feel it answered the question I was asking. Perhaps my question wasn’t clear. How can 1000 years be considered this incredible great ultimate reward, when it’s a limited time frame. How can anything limited possibly be an adequate reward for an infinite soul?
@@eve4468 A finite lifespan has a finite reward.
If those that have obtained the resurrection are living In a time where the Messiah has returned. Would this imply that people like Enoch or Metatron those that are resurrected come from the future?
Never mind I should have watched the whole lecture first. Thankyou very much for all the information.
Very welcome :)
It states “ you will seek the evil and they will not be found. “ We are Frequency “ numbers “ again it is said “. Your number is up “, your number will be Rubbed out !
Can God reincarnate a Jewish Soul in the body of a non Jew? If yes under what conditions?
Question how does cremation play into all this?
Cremation is forbidden in Judaism.

shalom Rabbi, i heard you well that there is no eternal hell, eternal suffering, but what about Dan 12:2 and many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth wake up, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches, everlasting abhorrence.
I cited this verse and explained it towards the end of the video.

Efraim are you a believer in Jesus as messiah ?
Absolutely not. Jesus cannot be the messiah as I've spoken about in multiple places, such as here: ua-cam.com/video/Jgf7hBGqzJM/v-deo.html and here: ua-cam.com/video/3rvL-sW5J04/v-deo.html and here: ua-cam.com/play/PLS68IUQOA2it_1307G60XjJvlJ3T5SFs7.html
Had to laugh when the rabbi said people can be reincarnated as a stone for a punishment. Well, if they are stone in the western wall or the rebuilt temple I guess that's not a bad thing? I mean as it stands today the western wall stones are kissed and adored all the time?! Just a funny thought I had. 🤪
In christianity book acts chapter 2 and writings of apostle paul. theres clear allusions to reincarnation. I could be wrong because i havent seen any teaching on those. If only a jewish rabbi would look in christians book with these lenses it would be more clear that bereit hadasha is clearly a jewish texts and not a christian doctrine. Shalom
Daniel 12 supporting reincarnation is grossly being taken out of context.. for it specifically says it's a singular historical event in history ""At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then.. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake"" .. those who awake do so AFTER the great distress of the nation of Israel (likely Gog Magog). its clearly a corporate resurrection.. not an individual reincarnation being spoken of here
That verse was not used to support reincarnation, it was used for resurrection.

Four times of spiritual success to reach the first god level and begin to explore your own creative universe. You only get your first day in the highest heaven of El Elyon doing so.

Nothing makes sense but nothing !!! Contradiction all the way !!!
You are interpreting the sins of the father will be upon the children wrong. It merely means if your teaching is in error you will teach your children wrong and they will repeat your mistakes. Or, if you are an abuser, your children might follow in your footsteps.
No your wrong. Repent. The Torah is clear.
@@GarmentofEsau ...No, she is correct, and your understanding of Torah is wrong .

Just Like Eretz Yisrael was once called Eretz Cannan.. Eretz Yisrael is after the fact Gehenom outside Jerusalem is after the fact.
Why you reject prophet muhammad and prophet Jesus and the messiah is Jesus .prophet muhammad continued the massage of judaism and Christianity
You are ignorant of the scriptures.....
you failed to mention the word "spirit" ...which is who and what we really are .
"soul" and "spirit" are NOT the same thing.
We are a different "soul" or "person" (personality) in each lifetime here, but the "spirit"
we TRULY are is the same .
"The SOUL that sins , it shall die." ( Ezekiel 18:4 and 20 )
But the "spirit" that we really are "returns to God who gave it" ( Ecclesiastes 12:7 )
This is because "God is Spirit" ( John 4 :24 )...and we are His "children" or "spirits"....
and He is the "Father of spirits" ( Hebrews 12:9 ) .
"soul" = "nephesh" is physical, earthly......aka "dust" (dirt), along with the "body" .
"spirit" = "ruach" = "breath" = is a metaphor for "MIND" and "CONSCIOUSNESS" .
"God" is the MIND and CONSCIOUSNESS in all people and in ALL things .....
not some old man up in the sky somewhere like false "Christianity" teaches
and as deceived "Judaism" teaches .
Yeshua is messiah

@@EfraimPalvanovGreeting Rabbi, I've got a few questions you may have already planned to adress in your next vid: but just in case I would still like to write them down just in case 😁:
1-Were all of Adam and Eve's children the original souls all of us reincarnated from as their sparks split? Would that also apply to Noah's grandchildren? Would the splitting of their sparks explain how billions of souls originated from only a few?

It seems like there is a very dangerous conclusion. If somebody is suffering, then they are doing it as part of a process of purification and, if we interfere with it by providing charity, then we are actually disrupting their purification process.
Right and if you desire to help someone but are not able to it's just God's will. Hard pill to swallow to think some humans might have more empathy than God?
I would like to understand that as well
rabbit i have a question? if you need to come back up to 3 times and try to be a good person. how do you do that. since all memories are erased right? :( and if the family you come back into brings you down the wrong path. how is that free will. or does that mean heaven will choose the right family for you who will lead you to a path of righteousness?
if punishment is 12 months, how do u explain the Shoah which was longer than 12 months?
It's important to remember that not all suffering is automatically "Gehinnom".
I think I'll just rename you אֵלִיָּהוּ
I can assure you I’ve inherited this sins of my family. You grow up in a home and you’re shaped by your environment and the errors of your grandparents effect how your parents raise you. We all are effected by eves sin because we all don’t start in the garden. I believe in reincarnation but this is an unnecessary reach to make everything in the Torah mean something different than face value
I have a question about reincarnation.. Is there any way to know which number of reincarnation we are currently in? Am I in my first, second, third? How do I know?
Another question. Why did Able have to suffer? How could he have a past life?
Again amazing. Thank you Rabbi
My pleasure!
Efraim, I read the text you showed me about the phoenix and reincarnation. There are many things I liked there, especially the idea of Caim and Abel being back together and getting over their past. But I definitely can't agree with the idea of them both being mashiach. I give you three reasons for that.
First, a leader to lead humanity for a thousand years in the holiness of G-d shouldn't be just anybody. Mashiach should be a person at Metatron level! The person who sits by the side of G-d Himself. Enoch is fit for the task, Moses is fit for the task, Adam perhaps, but Caim and Abel, if we take the Bible in the literal sense, they're both minor characters there. They didn't do much to deserve that role at all, in my understanding.
Second, the first murder wasn't the worst sin. The worst sin was Eve and Adam that performed it in the Garden of Eden. That was the main source of all problems. Caim wouldn't have murdered Abel in the first place if it wasn't for Eve's mistake. To me, it doesn't have any difference the first murder to a murder in our current time because they're both made with the same material which came to be in a different place before all that. Neither Caim nor Abel ever happened to be in the Garden of Eden. They don't have the power, the means, or the historical precedent to actually fix this. It wasn't their mistake!
There are only two ways of fixing this. One is with Adam and Eve themselves, and only them are able to redeem themselves and bring back humanity to the levels they were at the time. Another possibility is G-d Himself interfering with humanity and creating another human being unrelated to Adam and Eve and thus, not a descendent from them, to actually bring a new opportunity of redemption. Other than that, the most sense tells us that only those who were there making the exact same action they performed can actually modify it. In terms of gravity, Caim's murder was a crime against another human where their parents performed a crime against G-d.
The third reason is that the scope that comes before a murder is of a bigger stance than the murder itself. A murder is not an end in itself, is rather a consequence of something else, of a deeper problem within. In that sense, self-defense isn't the same thing as someone willing to do harm to another person for granted. A proof of that was Moses himself. He killed a slave master as that man was doing evil things against a fellow. Moses acted in self-defense and thus should not be put in the same basket as Caim is. Moses didn't lose his prophetic stance because of that. He wasn't thwarted from receiving the ten commandments because of that. However, that doesn't mean Moses wasn't immune of any wrongdoing because G-d was willing to stop short of providing Moses with the commandments as He attempted to kill Moses for misbehavior before, if wasn't for his wife that saved him by correcting his wrong dids.
So, nope. I can't agree with that. Mashiach is someone else other than Caim or Abel.
This is the world of tesuvah where we are to rectify our shards of light from our past BROKEN VESSELS.
So that why you shall not eat pigs 22:00 because maybe you will eat your buddy from anither life 😅
So what situation occurs when young children remember who they were in another life?? Professor Ian Stevenson studied this his whole life. Why do some souls remember something of their past life, but others don't. Is that even significant?
Rabbi, do the enemy(satan, the adversary) know the souls that will perish with his angels in the last day?
