Why is reincarnation necessary?
Reincanation is a belief and not an absolute fact. When we die it is the end of our soul and this is the absolute fact.Purpose of a Belief:At the dawn of civilization Self-control was banned and was replaced with divine, social and legal controls. Self-control was banned because it gave the members the ability to do a socially unnacceptble thing in an acceptable or undetectable way and it was not possible to monitor the society always.Since we have no self-control we don't have direct control over our life. We have to use divine control, which is indirect control. This control is not compatible with reasoning.Reincarnation:Reincarantion is defined as the entry of the soul of a dead person into the body of a newborn.Purpose of belief in reincarnation:The belief in reincarnation produces an indirect benifit. When our life is devastated completely we become helpless. Belief in reincarnation helps us to discard the devastated way of life and restart a new way of life. The 'I' of the previous way would continue unaffected but the Self would get changed because we would be having a new refernce state.Our starting of a new way of life is exactly like Vishnu's reincarnation whenever Adharma dominates. Every time he would come in a new incarnation to save Dharma.
What do Jewish religion believe after they die?
There is no dogmatic Jewish belief about the afterlife. There have even been religious Jews who believed that when you pass, that is it, and the rewards for your deeds are found in the life you lived on Earth (this is, however, definitely a minority view). However, seeing the wicked live comfortable lives while the righteous suffer seems to contradict God's justice (an idea that is dealt with in the Book of Job), and so the vast majority of observant Jews have traditions concerning the afterlife. If a Jew believes in an afterlife at all, he or she certainly belives in Heaven. Eternal damnation has been largely rejected. Instead, most believe in a place known as Gehinnom or Sheol, where the souls of the less than righteous will undergoe a final purifying punishment before being allowed into Heaven. Ancient Jewish texts concerning Sheol describe it as a shadowy, hallow place. Tradition states that no matter how evil someone is, one can only be given a sentence no greater than 12 months, save for those whose wickedness has surpassed all, whose punishment lasts no longer than the arrival of the World to Come. There is another tradition that states that during the period of punishment, the souls are given reprieve from their suffering every Sabbath (Saturday). Those Jews who believe in the Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), also believe in reincanation. The reasons why one would be reincarnated vary according to the tradition. The reason most spoken of is that a man who fathers no children is reincarnated. One hasidic story implies that a Jew who has died due to antisemitism is allowed to reincarnate to take vengeance. The Kabbalist known as the Ari spoke of biblical figures being reincarnated as later biblical figures or even normal people, in order to further the divine purpose. It is possible for not the whole person, but only a piece of their soul to reincarnate. There are also things that one may do to become karet (cut, or spiritually excommunicated). One who is karet has his or her tie to the divine source cut. It has been said that one who is karet dies early, living no longer than 50 years. Seeing as one can become karet after his 50th birthday, however, it is largely believed that to be karet instead affects one's afterlife. Some say that the punishment for a karet individual is eternal, or until the Olam haBa (World to Come, the time of the Messiah). Others say that the soul of one who dies in the state of karet is comepletely and utterly obliterated.
