shit you may not know about judaism

many non-jews speculate that judaism that judaism is just like christianity 

except they do not believe in jesus as part of god & that we have all of these old school traditions and we don't eat bacon.


not true!! 


judaism and christianity are on COMPLETELY different sides of the spectrum. 


the christian god and the jewish view of god are different in ways that that we 
don't believe

in hell 


one god is the god of the world 


all religions are many paths to god (why jews don't have missionaries) 


yata yata yata...


one thing that i love & just another reason of WHY i converted to judaism is that


THERE IS NO OFFICIAL VIEW ON THE AFTERLIFE AND WE DONT CARE BECAUSE IT DOESNT MATTER!!!!!!!


what matters


is this world 
right now


here
so don't fuck it up


live your life to the fullest


there are many ideas on the after life 

and one of them (my personal belief as well) is reincarnation


all souls repeat life to complete their unfinished work


if you have brought imbalance to the world 


hitlerstalinjohnwaynegacyosamabinladen etc


repeat life until their divine spirit
has been fully recognized 
brought balance to the world in their lifetime


in a different body


what do you think???????

there are many jewish sources 

dealing with what is popularly 
called "reincarnation."

in hebrew, 

it is called "gilgul 
ha'ne'shamot," 

literally the recycling or transmigration of 
souls.

"The soul only comes into this world in the first place in order 
to make a spiritual repair. If that is not fulfilled by the end 
of one's lifetime, then the soul will be sent down once again. 
The return trip may only be needed for a short time or in a 
limited way. This in part explains why people are born with 
handicaps or may live a brief life."

-       analysis by rabbi simmons

"many Jews are surprised to learn, or may even wish to deny, that reincarnation - the "revolving" of souls through a succession of lives, or "gilgulim" - is an integral part of Jewish belief. But this teaching has always been around. And it is firmly rooted in source-verses."

-       rabbi moshe chaim

“…that spark of Godliness never leaves us. Is it possible that that spark of Godliness can never be destroyed? Is it possible to destroy a soul?....all the souls will be reinvested in the bodies that are back here…a soul will be redeemed weather in this body or in another and then enter the afterlife.”
