  1. ״קול רעמך בגלגל האירו ברקים תבל, רגזה ותרעש הארץ" (תהילים עז יט) אומר רבי יוסף חיים ״הבן איש חי ״ זצוק״ל "אל תקרי בגלגל אלא בגלגול".

  2. Until and unless I experience reincarnation, i will not ever believe in it. I definitely believe in resurrection because God has resurrected me before. I was not done with what I needed to do, so even tho any human body should not have survived, I was allowed to continue living.

  3. I wanna finish everything NOW, all the precepts… coming back to this meat suit isn’t what I’m looking forward to, if you all insist I would guide you from the spirit realm.
    Any cheat codes to finishing all of them in this lifetime rabbi ?

  4. My soul carries such a sense of knowing things that my brain does not fully understand. I have been called to Judaism my entire life. Rabbis like you and my teacher at AJU have opened the door for me to return home. Does that make sense? To have a sense of knowing and seeking and searching for a life directed by G-d in Jewish law? I read the OT many times but it never spoke to me the way the Torah does. In fact, it was like reading gibberish. It lacked the context that is innate to the Hebrew language. Every day I feel more love and wonder for my Hashem. Thank you to G-d for your perfect wisdom and light.

  5. Sorry to say this but this is not true. No where in the TORAH OR TANAKH does it state that. The Bible focuses on a single earthly life followed by eternal consequences (heaven or hell), not a cycle of rebirths.❤

  6. In the facade of “deep
    Spiritual layer of the Torah” Zohar with its mysticism is so misleading that these people are quick to believe even what the pagan Hindus believe- reincarnation! how much more led stray can you guys be really? And still when it’s right in front of your noses it’s sad that you can’t even see the signs that point to Jesus as the messiah! Do not add or take anything away from the Word!

  7. I respect you greatly as a Jewish scholar. I have a question about this Bible verse. How do Jews interpret this passage, 'And they will look on me whom they have pierced'? I am curious to know. Thank you, with much respect.

    Zechariah, chapter 12, verse 10.

    And I will pour out on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and supplication. And they will look on me* whom they have pierced*, and will mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will weep* bitterly for him, as one weeps bitterly for his firstborn.

    Psalms chapter 22 verse 16

    For dogs have surrounded me;
    the assembly of the wicked have encircled me.
    They pierced my hands and my feet.

    New Testament of the Bible.

    John 19:37 says, "
    And again another Scripture says, 'They will look on him whom they have pierced.'" And

    Revelation 1:7 says, "Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him."

  8. A genuine question here: the worldview of the Tanakh seems to have a linear view of history, ending on the Last Day with the resurrection of the dead (cf. Psalm 49:15, Daniel 12:2, etc.). From your perspective, Rabbi Raps, how does the cyclical view of history necessary for something like reincarnation square with that? Thanks in advance for your response.

  9. Many times before make no sense with billions of people being born. It's silly. Sick of mainstream Judaism. People flowing down a river right of a cliff.

  10. While today an accepted pillar of Jewish mysticism, reincarnation (gilgul neshamot) is historically a later deviation from classic biblical and rabbinic Judaism. The Hebrew Bible emphasizes a linear view of existence: humans are formed from dust, live a single earthly life, and descend to Sheol, a shadowy underworld of the dead. Early rabbinic literature, including the Mishnah and Talmud, focused heavily on the physical resurrection of the dead (Techiyat HaMeitim) at the end of days, rather than the cyclical migration of souls.
    ​Because of this, mainstream medieval philosophers fiercely rejected the concept when it began filtering into the community. In the tenth century, Saadia Gaon condemned reincarnation as an alien, absurd theory borrowed from non-Jewish sources. Its eventual acceptance in the twelfth-century Sefer HaBahir and later Kabbalistic texts marked a fundamental theological shift, transforming a fringe, external influence into an integrated mystical doctrine.
