Shaar ha Gilgulim - Definition and Overview

The work, "Sha'ar HaGilgulim," (Gate of Reincarnations) as the title reveals, is about the Torah concept of reincarnation. Based primarily on the Zohar in Parashas Mishpatim where gilgulim are discussed, it is from the writings of the master Kabbalist, Rabbi Isaac Luria (Yitzchak Luria), (1534-1572), otherwise known as the 'Arizal.' The book was recorded by his foremost disciple, Rabbi Chaim Vital, and amended by Rabbi Shmuel Vital, his son.

As well as outline principles of personal rectification and reincarnation, this work reveals the spiritual roots of many of the great Torah scholars of the past. Furthermore, it often provides vital information about the future in terms of helping one understand the challenges to be expected throughout Jewish history and particularly at the 'End-of-Days.'
