The Cost of Hatred
Rabbi Ya'aqob Menashe

The Pele Yo'es writes that the Pasuq (verse) in Mishpatim (Shemoth 23:5) which tells us that if we see the donkey of the one we hate collapse under its weight, we must help him, teaches us that our hatred of another person (for permitted reasons, such as not following the right path), must be out in the open. The problem is that hating another person, is usually for the wrong reasons.
The evil of man is such, that the reason for hatred is usually on account of being jealous of the other person and the like, or because a person sees a loss of income because of the other person. In such cases, a person is embarrassed to publicly show his hatred for the other person, because it is embarrassing for him to let the world see that he is so lacking in faith.

The problem is that a person has to find justifications to convince himself that the wrong that he is doing is quite justified. His hatred will awaken bad feelings till, finally, he will have of 'plenty of reasons' to hate the other person. But, if the truth be known, none of the reasons carries any validity.
Questions:
Do you have someone in your life that you truly hate?

  • Is your hate a justification hiding your jealousy?

  • Do you know how to remove jealousy from within you?

  • Realize that to have what you want from the person that is your jealousy target requires that you have to want all that that person has:
* including the spouse they don't like at the moment,
* including the job that they find dull and boring,
* including the illnesses they have acquire
* including their tikune in addition to your own.

The Laws and the Reincarnations
Adapted from  The Great Maggid  by Rabbi J. Immanuel Schochet.  
The Baal Shem Tov sent The Maggid to a tree next to a spring in a forest and told him to remain there.

The  Maggid of Mezritch  once asked the  Baal Shem Tov  to explain the Zohar passage referring to the opening verse of  parashat  Mishpatim: "These are the laws," refers to "the mystery of reincarnation."
The Maggid wondered: What connection is there between the straightforward meaning relating to the monetary and other financial issues discussed subsequently, the laws of torts, and the alleged mystical one of multiple incarnations of souls?

In reply the Baal Shem Tov sent him to a forest and told him to seek out a certain tree next to a spring, and to remain there until evening.

Parasha Mishpatim, according to the Kabbalah, reveals the laws of reincarnation. The physical story line describes the various tort laws of society. This is after it describes the laws of Hebrew slaves.
The Zohar has a section Named "the old Saba - Grandfather" that has over 300 pasukim.that detail the laws of reincarnation. The Ari wrote a commentary on these 300 pasukim plus his own Ruach Hakodesh through his meditations and study of the Torah. His commentary is titled "Sharei Gilgulim" - "Gates of Reincarnation". These two books are the major source of information about the Torah's teachings regarding reincarnation. There are hints to the subject within the Torah itself including the Esser Debrot.
Reincarnation relates to the tikune process. Reincarnation is a tool for our souls to achieve its tikune and to maintain relationship balance among souls. This last aspect "relationship balance" is my opinion.

From my personal interactions with a number of students and discussion with various Rabbis involved with conversion including their writings there has been a change, over the last 70 years, from previous generations when it comes to conversions.
In the past 70 years, there have been many people who have asked for and have been converted to Judaism. What is different from earlier generations is statements made by many of the converting people.along the lines of "I never felt comfortable or even at home within my birth family. I always felt I was a stranger."

The typical response from within Judaism to these statements has been "the souls of the 10 lost Tribes are returning to Judaism."
In my opinion, there is a deeper reason having to do with the process of chaos. About 70 years ago was World War 2. The Zohar teaches that when the negative system collectively called Satan is given permission to wreak chaos on a geographical area the Satan is allowed to have this chaos impact all people in the area. What this increase in conversions is demonstrating that Satan is allowed to extend the chaos to the Reincarnation system. This is the cause of so many people with Jewish souls being born into families that cause them to not feel at home and thus they become searchers after truth.
The purpose of this reincarnation chaos is to cause exactly the effect of searching. This is also the purpose of the technological changes over the last 70 years: The speed up of travel by airplane, the amount of international travel, the telecommunication industry changes including cell phones, the internet which has been called the modern Tree of Knowledge - Good and Evil.
The Ari - Rabbi Isaac Luria teaches that to achieve your tikune one must connect to a previous lifetime. HaShem, in his mercy, has given us access to learn about our earlier lifetimes through the study of the laws of reincarnation. Yeshshem has over 200 hours of classes on these laws. Here is a link to these classes.
