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”.
