Shalom rabbi, may you always be healthy and blessed. May I ask about reincarnation ?, because many people from other religions have the stigma that the concept of Jewish reincarnation is only made up by rabbi issac luria and it is just an ordinary human creation.

I want to ask u, “are ancient Jewish especially those born before Christ know and accept the concept of reincarnation ?”

What it is true that reincarnation is only made new by human thought especially by rabbi issac luria ?

Do the majority of jews or all jews must be believe in reincarnation?

There are two aspects to going to the Mikveh: 1. Immersion in accordance with the ruling of Ezra HaSofer, which is done in case there was nocturnal emission, and is therefore very important. 2. Immersion for the sake of additional purity, and for this purpose if you have difficulty in going, you can say Mishnayot from Seder Taharot.
