  Gilgul Neshamot - Reincarnation of Souls
The subject of gilgul neshamot, the reincarnation of souls, is not mentioned explicitly in the Torah.
It is usually thought that gilgul takes place after a person passes from this world, after the death of the body, at which time or soon after the soul transmigrates into another body.
Moshe, for instance, was a gilgul of Hevel (Abel) and Shet (Seth), as his name indicates (the Mem of Moshe stands for Moshe, the Shin stands for Shet, and the Heh stands for Hevel).

 2nd Gilgul Is Like 1st (4:1)
Either he earned all his NR"N during the first gilgul before he sinned, as in the first possibility that we have just read; or, he earned only his Nefesh before he sinned in the first gilgul, which is the second possibility that will be explained here.
In the first possibility, he cannot receive all his NR"N in his second gilgul, except through the device of reciting the verse "My Nefesh has desired You at night...", as was explained at the end of the last chapter.
In his first gilgul he rectified the Nefesh that he received at birth, and he never received either his Ruach or Neshama before sinning and dying.

The belief in reincarnation was central to Kabbalah teaching about the destiny of the soul, although it was rejected by some non-mystics as a sectarian belief alien to Jewish thought.
The transmigration of a man's soul into the body of a woman is considered by some cabalists to be a punishment for the commission of heinous sins, as when a man refuses to give alms or to communicate his wisdom to others.
The theory of impregnation gave birth to the superstitious belief in "dibbuk" or "gilgul," which prevailed, and still prevails, among the Oriental Jews and those of eastern Europe.

 OLAM.ORG :: Speak your Peace ::
Gilgul does not necessarily mean that a soul in its entirety has been reincarnated; it may only be a nitzotz, or spark of a soul, that is reincarnated.
Gilgul occurs when the preceding incarnation of that soul has more to accomplish.
Rabbi Menashe Ben Israel of the 17th century writes that the word, gilgul, in Hebrew letters equals the numerical value of 72, which is also chesed, the Hebrew word for kindness.
