Hello, I learned here that in addition to the Tanakh, there are several other writings in Judaism, for example the Talmud. I thought that they were all related to the Torah in some way, or that the Torah was the basis of everything.
A Jew told me about his past lives and that reincarnation was a common view in Judaism. This desturbed me very much, but I thought this was a view that only a single person had. Now I came across a video that talked about the Kabbalah teaching and that some people in the Bible were reincarnated as other people later in the book. The Christian Bible says "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."(Hebr. 9:27) and God says to Moshe in Deuteronomy 31:16 "Behold, you are about to lie with your forefathers." Moshe wasn't perfect when he died ("Since you did not have faith in Me to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly to the Land which I have given them." Numbers 20:12) so as I understand it, he was a candidat for reincarnation. But God only fortold his future with his fathers (and thus confessing that they also stay in the land of the dead).
What is reincarnation all about and how did the authors of Kabbalah come to their teaching?
