2. Names, Gematria, inner meanings, a basic outline.

3. Chronology and History of different time periods in the Bible. Main figures and personalities, and how they changed history.

5. The Sources, the authors: Bible, Midrash, commentaries, Kabbalistic sources, Hassidic sources, and Contemporary sources and the age of these sources and where were they written.

For now, let's first explain "reincarnation."

The basis of Jewish thought is that there are two ways to wipe out a sin:  Repentance and Reincarnation.

It is a basic Torah precept that a person has to accomplish all six hundred and thirteen commandments in their life. However that task is impossible to achieve, because not in every lifetime do you get divorced (that’s a commandment).  And not in every lifetime are you a Cohen – with an existing Temple.  If you are a woman you can’t do the commandments that a man has to do. That means that most women today were men in their former reincarnation. It’s basically impossible to fulfill all six hundred and thirteen commandments in one lifetime and thus we have to reincarnate a few times.

The Kabbalistic book, "Gates of Reincarnation" reveals to us a basic understanding of these two levels. Repentance is from the sphere of "Binah" while reincarnation is from the sphere of "Chochmah". Reincarnation is on a higher level because it comes from a higher sphere. This whole subject of reincarnation comes from a higher sphere than repentance.
