Summary: an enlightening look at reincarnation
Comment: I found this to be a unique and fascinating book, in its view of reincarnation from a Jewish perspective.
Written in a clear, easy to read style, it shows how the belief developed in Judaism, and became part of the mystical Hassidic tradition in Eastern Europe that continues to this day, now world wide...and with the renewed interest in Kaballah, has become a teaching many consider valid.

Rabbi Gershom relates several case histories of people who have vivid, haunting, memories of a past life during the Holocaust, causing phobias and other symptoms in their current life.
Most cases are from people born in the '40s and '50s, and the rabbi gives reasons why these souls rushed back to experience an earthly incarnation again.

My favorite chapters are the ones that give an overview of the history of the subject, like Chapter 3, "The Afterlife in Jewish Teachings" and # 8, "Journeys of the Soul". There is also a good appendix, "Varieties of Jewish Experience", an 8 page bibliography, and a glossary.
If you have an interest in reincarnation, this is informative, logically presented, and an excellent book on the topic.

Summary: I was really surprised Jews believe in this!
Comment: I heard about this book because of a review that Rabbi Gershom did about Monteleone's novel, "Night of Broken Souls." Believe me, "Beyond the Ashes" is much better than any fiction! The true case histories that the Rabbi tells are really amazing. Once I started reading, I could not stop.

The Rabbi's book also has a really good chapter on Jewish beliefs about reincarnation and life after death -- which really surprized me that they can believe in it. I was taught in Sunday school that Jews do not beleive in life after death at all, but boy, did this book set me straight on that one!

I came away from this book with a much deeper respect for Jews and Judaism, as well as some real good insights about reincarnation. This book taught me that Jews do have a spirituality, too. Even if you are not very interested in the Holocaust, read it for the theology parts. It will change your life.

Summary: Not Just Another Reincarnation Book-- READ IT
Comment: Beyond the Ashes is a fascinating, original and wide-ranging exploration of Holocaust reincarnation case studies, the variety of Jewish beliefs concerning life after death, and the ties between Jewish spiritual traditions and those of other cultures. (Believe it or not, there are a number of parallels between Jewish mystical traditions and those of various Native American tribes, including the Hopi.)

If you are interested in reading about reincarnation from a Jewish perspective and learning about Judaism from a more
spiritual standpoint than is typically available, read this book.
