Have you ever experienced déjà vu, felt an instant connection with someone you’ve just met, or wondered if you’ve lived before?
In this episode of the Toward a Meaningful Life Podcast, hosts David Cohen and Levi Goldstein explore one of Rabbi Simon Jacobson’s most fascinating and misunderstood teachings: the Torah and Kabbalah’s perspective on reincarnation (gilgulim), past lives, and the soul’s ongoing journey.
Drawing from Rabbi Jacobson’s powerful class, David and Levi discuss why Judaism treats reincarnation with humility rather than sensationalism, how every soul returns with a unique purpose, and why discovering your mission today matters far more than uncovering who you were centuries ago.
Together they unpack unforgettable analogies from the class, including:
- Why the soul is like electricity flowing through different “appliances”
- The King’s crown jewel and why mystical teachings are shared today
- The refrigerator and electricity analogy that changes how we think about death
- Why déjà vu and deep soul connections may point to something greater
- How every relationship and life experience may be part of your soul’s mission
- Why responsibility—not curiosity—is the true purpose of studying reincarnation
Whether you’re new to Jewish mysticism or have studied Kabbalah for years, this conversation offers a practical, inspiring perspective on living with greater purpose, compassion, and spiritual awareness.
