The Ami, for those who didn’t read it, has an article about gilgulim of souls from the Holocaust. They quoted a story about a “rosh yeshiva” who remained nameless, some Kabbalist/Psychyatrist sort of fellow, a dozen goyim, and a few women who dreamt they were in the holocaust which was, of course, irrefutable proof that they were there once before…
Then the Ami actually suggested that anybody who died thinking “I wish I wasn’t Jewish” would come back once again as a goy.
I am not at all knowledgeable in this area, so I won’t comment, but I found the article interesting yet distasteful. Not because I dislike reading about the holocaust, and not because of Gilgulim – but the thought of a woman writing an article without any halachic/hashkafik mekoros about a topic so obviously complicated and above our heads… annoys me.
I think there was a Chassidishe rebbe (Maybe the Yismach Moshe?) who I was told remembered his previous gilgulim as Moshe Rabeinu’s sheep, and of a bystander during the times of Korach “and he was the only one who didn’t take sides” or something like that.
