The Spiritual Dimension of Death and the Afterlife

Regarding the first lesson on reincarnation:

If you were to judge someone charged with a crime and were capable of accessing the defendant's relevant past lives, if possible, would you use that information in evaluating the case?

I know it might not be legally possible to rely on any past life information, but it would potentially offer greater insight into motive.

Would your answer be any different if your were on a religious court and had to issue a verdict? Have religious courts in the past been allowed to utilize past life information, especially in determining a just verdict and potential sentence?

Thank you for some great presentations! Reply

Death of a loved one and the afterlife I am not a very religious person but, I became more close to understanding Judaism and realizing how much my faith could do for me, until I listened to you. My Mother died this past week, your words have put my heart and soul at ease. Thank you. Reply

You have grown up so much since I last saw you. You are an incredible, INCREDIBLE Rabbi. Reply

I can not understand how it can be that everything is forgivable.Are you saying that even people who committed horrible crimes are forgivable too? Reply

G-dly soul the same as spirit? To me many new things or maybe just different definitions of words. One of them: I thought we have body, soul and spirit, and that the spirit is the part that is the image of G-d, since, as I`ve understood g-d is not flesh but spirit, isnt that so? Maybe it is an other defenition of the words and that when you say G-dly soul, it is what I call spirit so in fact we mean the same? Reply

there is hardly an atom on my Earth that that enterprets this to mean that my physical body is to stop its breath while raising itself in the in heavens.

I recline for Him tody! Peace be with you, ALL Reply

Daughters Death Thank you so much for this message. My daughter passed away last week and your teaching has helped me so very much I can't even put it into words.
I am not Jewish but I love the Jewish people. Reply

death and the afterlife this is great stuff. you need to go mainstream so that people don't think that all there is to judaism is what Hollywood says. Reply

I loved this message I am not Jewish but this message answered alot of questions that I had and gave me so much clarity about life as we live it and life after death and also our purpose on this earth. It was powerful.
