About Me
- Name: yaak
- Location: Physically, Chicago, but Libi BaMizrah
Who is "yaak"? I'm a half-Sepharadi, half-Ashkenazi, Haredi Zionist. I hope that clears it all up. :-) I went to a Haredi elementary school, a mixed Haredi/modern high school, Haredi Yeshiva in Israel, and back to a mixed Yeshiva after that. I have a masters degree in computer science and Semicha. BA"H Mash'ala, I'm married to a wonderful wife with 6 great children. Hoping to meet each one of my readers in Yerushalayim when we are Olim LeRegel there very soon...

amazing isn't the words I would use to describe it...

Josh,
I was thinking of putting into the post:
"Not for the rationalistically-inclined"
with links to your blog and DovBear's blog, but I decided against it.
Eilu Ve'eilu Divrei Elokim Hayyim.
:)
i suppose. bli neder I'll have a post up about it tomorrow. besides rational objections, there is a problem with deriving this from the Tanchuma (which will be the subject of my post).
and nava, I'll try to email you as well. it's minor stuff like omission of Shechem's name by the first gilgul.
A good way to understand the concept of gilgul/ibur is Landau's theory of (low-temperature) Fermi Liquids. In this theory, the very complicated interactions between particles in a Fermi liguid are described in an approximate yet very precise way via the concept of a "quasi-particles". The latter are particles that have the basic properties of the fermions in the Fermi liquid, but with different dyamics. In the Landau view of a Fermi liquid, some of the collectiveness of the Fermi liquid is absorbed by the particles that the liquid consists of.
With mankind it is likewise. The concept of gilgul is like the concept of quasi-particles. It gives a good description of reality, but it involves an approximation, and it should not be taken too literally. The real reality is too complicated for us to grasp.
Every man is independent. We are born once and we die once. However, our task in life is dependent on past and future, on the circumstances we find ourselves in. We must finish what was left undone to achieve a future that must be. Our Neshama reflects the task we must do, and thus in a certain way inherits things from Neshamot of the past.
