Reincarnation

The concept of souls being reborn in other bodies or things after death is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible or in classical rabbinic texts like the Mishnah and Talmud but is discussed in later kabbalistic texts and works of Jewish thought. Some of these texts debate the existence of reincarnation, while others explain the purpose of reincarnation, how some biblical figures were reincarnations of other biblical figures, and how certain commandments in the Torah help facilitate the process of reincarnation.
