not to be funny, but God did say to Abraham that I will multiply his seed as the grains of sand..are saline bags not just salty water :hubie:

given the enormity of reality and the absurdities found in TLR and JBO id say the answer is no. However, I worry about my post here because of the actions I did in this game (series :sadcam:)

On a similar note: Have you ever considered how your actions may affect the next incarnation; or how past incarnations have affected you (assuming that you believe in reincarnation)? Obviously, reincarnation does not feature at all in the T'na"ch: it is absolutely silent on the topic. The T'na"ch therefore does not support the existence of reincarnation but, equally, it does not indicate the contrary either.

Consequently there are some Jews who believe in a form of reincarnation while there are also others who do not, just as there are some Jews who believe that Hapoʿél Tel ʾAviv has the greatest soccer team ever while there are others who subscribe to the opposite view. It is not a significant feature of our culture and I don't know of anyone who really cares; as far as we are concerned, what will be, will be.

Even so, the blessing which precedes the recitation of the bedtime Sh'maʿ before getting into bed each night contains a passage in some editions of siddurim (daily prayer-books) where we forgive our former incarnations, and plead that our present incarnation result not in suffering for those following. The passage below is a scan from a siddur in nossaḥ s'farad that I have, and the wording in that edition is

.בֵּין בְּגִלְגּוּל זֶה בֵּין בְּגִלְגּוּל אַחֵר לְכָל בֶּן אָדָם וְלֹא יֵעָנֵשׁ שׁוּם אָדָם בְּסִבָּתִי...​
...whether in this incarnation or in any other incarnation for any person, so that nobody else should suffer punishment because of me.

I believe this passage also occurs in the prayer-formula of the ʿEdot Miz'raḥiyyim, although the wording may well vary subtly between the different rituals (as for the b'nei ʿeidah miz'raḥit, perhapse @Sccit can confirm because I do not own a siddur of the ʿedot miz'raḥ).

Anyway, we are heading into three major Holy Days back to back to back, so I will not be posting much (if at all) the next few weeks.

from my perspective, the actions that triggered your birth were ultimately out of your control. I try not to think in that way as it steals from your present...

so if you are born again, it is likely due to actions from an unusual source :youngsabo:@DoubleClutch 17 seconds :banderas:

We are living in a world of illusion

The way that can be explained is not the everlasting Way The name that can be named is not the eternal Name The unnamable is the eternally real Naming is the origin of all particular things Free from desire, you realize the mystery Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations Yet mystery...

that said, God does not hold us in contempt for the things done to us, but the things we do and say God remembers, thus the need for continual repentance not because of ongoing guilt but a constant reminder that to do good takes active involvement it should not be assumed we are good nor evil but rather dynamic.

for all you know the world to come is still coming day by day...how sure are we that we have ever seen "night"? as the "morning and the evening" technically are only associated with "day"

Yes, I have a S'faraddi brother-in-law and some of the more mystical customs I find very interesting. I do hope to study with him soon.

I WAS ACTUALLY A LITTLE SURPRISED WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT ASHKENAZIS GENERALLY DONT DEAL WIT THE TEACHINGS OF THE ZOHAR

IS THAT SOMETHING YOU HAVE GOTTEN INTO OR PLAN ON GETTING INTO?
