ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Sara Yoheved RIgler is a person whose
spiritual journey has taken her down an unconventional path. From
her studies in India with a guru who was both a mystic and an
acclaimed Sanskrit scholar, to her 15 years living in the oldest
ashram in America, to becoming an observant Jew and moving to
Jerusalem, Sara has absorbed wisdom from the many facets of her
life.
She is an acclaimed international lecturer, and has published six
books, the most recent titled “I’ve Been Here Before”, which
examines the evidence that those that walk among us may be
reincarnated souls of Jewish children murdered during the
Holocaust. Provocative and thought provoking, Sara Yocheved
Rigler is a “Jew You Should Know”.
