from a book I am reading now...

Here is a passage that I like from a new book I am reading. The author writes about meeting a chassid on plane and striking up a conversation with him:

"Do the Hasidim believe in reincarnation?" I asked.

He looked at me and smiled. "I believe you can be reincarnated in your own lifetime."

From the book Shanda: The Making and Breaking of a Self-Loathing Jew by Neal Karlen
