I was told the jewish religion believes in re-incarnation, or once did is this true?

Answer 1

Judaism does and have always believed in reincarnation, that is true.
The conservative and reform branches of Judaism are relatively young, and they may not share in the ancient beliefs of Orthodox Judaism.

Answer 2

Yes, many Jews believe that reincarnation might be an option. Since no one has ever died and come back to tell us what's next, we're allowed to "believe" whatever we like. No one has ever told us what came before creation so we're allowed to "believe" whatever we like about that too. In Judaism, we are judged by what we DO, not by what we believe!

Answer 3

Reincarnation is a fact accepted in each and every religion.
it is not a mere imagination but as stated in GITA that u will attain the body u have in ur conscienceness before death . Take it this way may b u r thinking of ur wife before death may b u attain a girlish form in next birth. but it is a science that just depend on your Karma or ur deeds.
Indian sages have said "DONT COME BACK"
that is one should try to liberate himself for back to God head.
