Reply To: Suffering Due to Previous Gilgul

“Why do you keep saying criminal?”

Because regarding a mamzer child Rabbi Mizrachi said in a shiur “dont feel bad for him he is really a big criminal” so I am supposing thats what he meant.

syag, I dont have a problem with the system you are referring to. My issues are the fact that we cant know how this system works, and perhaps saying “I dont know why person a is suffering” is more accurate that saying “person a is suffering for something bad (no matter how small) he did in his past life.”

The concept of gilgul is hard to understand on an intellectual level but the real danger is how to prevent human nature- people will start looking at blind people as having committed a grave offence in a previous life- not that they missed shachris.
