How can I help support Rabbi Gershoms current reincarnation work?
In From Ashes to Healing, first published in 1996, I stated that I was retiring from reincarnation counseling. That was my sincere intent at the time, but it has proven to be virtually impossible. Even though I do not have a regular therapy practice, people from all over the world continue to write or e-mail me for help. Therapists, academics, and researchers continue to contact me as an expert in this unusual and very specialized field. Reporters call me for the Jewish perspective on reincarnation. Like Leonard Nimoy who ended up being forever Spock, I seem to have acquired the role of "Holocaust reincarnation rabbi" for life, even though I have now moved on to other projects (Such as my soon-to-be-published book on Jewish Themes in Star Trek. Hence the reference to Nimoy and Spock here.) As I have explained elsewhere, I never had a paying position for this work. People will pay hundreds of dollars to see a therapist, but somehow they expect a rabbi to do it all for free. An
