Sam2: thank you for the correction. But doesn’t the fact thaat the Arizal wrote the Sefer show enough proof? Gilgulim are discussed all over oral Torah, midrash, tradition, etc… to say that someone doesn’t “believe ” in Gilgulim is denying a chunk. Of what our Torah has to say on it… and regarding the kodosh Harav Saadia gaon- our mixed up notion of the subject is what he dissmissed- correct, as goyish- is what your referring to.
I know I must do my own research on who wrote what Sefer..but with all do respect, please do your own research on this subject at hand. The chofets Chaim (don’t know source) has alot to say on the matter. Start there. Even ask a rov..I did.
The subject of Gilgulim is a fact of our holy Torah. To deny it is not advisable.
Please consult a Rov before you stand your ground, or try aish. Com, (yes, I’m a fan) as they deal with these Q ‘s on daily basis.
thanks for reading
