Reincarnation of Cain In Your Torah in 10 you say that Cain was reincarnated into the Egyptian that Moshe killed... How then is the soul of Cain in Yitro who is older then Moshe??
Also You said that we were all at Sinai, If all the Jewish souls were at Sinai what happens to the rest of the Jewish population that have accumulated over the years?
Thanks Rabbi Reply

in response to David de Bruyn:

Jisro as incarnation of Cain In the book Sefer haTanya its written in this context, "one sun can shine thru many windows." Many people can share one soul, even though their thoughts and personalities can be individual. Reply

Jethro as a reincarnation of Cain Shalom Rabbi:

I enjoy you lessons very much. But I have trouble with reincarnation. Where does this teaching come from? Is there scripture showing this to be true? I was not raised to believe in reincarnation so it is a little hard for me to comprehend, but I am willing to learn about it.

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for taking the time to answer me. Reply
