The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Moshe Chaim Katz’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

we are dealing with the question does reincarnation exist and do the jews believe in reincarnation and the answer is yes and we're speaking about reincarnation we're speaking about the afterlife and specifically now we're going to go into some of the details about reincarnation now we mentioned this as a caveat before these ideas are so deep and they're so beyond that we have only a drop of understanding of them the greatest sages in the world have the most understanding but these are ideas that are that are beyond that are so profound and once uh after 120 years when a person's in charmaine he'll really understand these things but for now we've been given hints we've been given certain small points to think about and the reason why we have these topics is not just like wow that's cool you know reincarnation cool it's actually that it changes your life now and you start to realize that there's things i have to fix and it's not the first rodeo and we have things to do here and there's reasons why we've come back and we want to kind of get it right we were sent down with a mission and it makes life much more meaningful knowing that i have things that i have to do now and i want to speak about something a certain portion of the torah which deals with this very very powerfully this is one of the most powerful areas of torah that speak about reincarnation about gilgal like we mentioned yesterday gilgal which is gilgal which means reincarnation has the same numerical values 72 is tested as kindness because reincarnation is the greatest kindness that hashem could ever do even the word gilgo reincarnation what word is that also in hebrew gal gal what's a gal gao a wheel so
