Souls and bodies: How is a soul matched to a body?

The Jewish Religion seem to think that certain souls are chosen to enter certain bodies, and in certain countries, and in certain environments.
These souls are either chosen, or are called forth from souls willing to agree to that setup for their life there in that body.
How does God match up a soul for a body?
This is one of the great secrets of Heaven, and of God.
The way anything in Heaven is done is secretal to Heaven, and the Jewish idea of how it is done remains just that, an idea only, not the truth, in its actual full rendition of it.
This truth must remain a secret, held by God in Heaven, for now.
It is true, though, that a soul goes where it can learn most readily, what it is ready to learn, in that best environment for it to learn more about the realness of God's love living in them, and in all others too.

How does a soul get matched to its body, parents, and worldly entry point, as to its country, time, and place?

Yes, It could remain a mystery like what happens after we leave our body.
Of course there are various beliefs and then it is up to us to find our own comfort levels.
I get a feeling, our souls clamor to see action here, and as I did in my working career, we could just take whatever comes our way as beggars cannot be choosers! I was confident of finding my comfort zones wherever and, likewise, I could have been wherever the good lord placed me in!
I think there is the biggest data bank with our creator, Akashic records, that records everything that we do and think. Then we are placed at a suitable place and time in the whole realm of the creative process. Our talents, or lack thereof, will decide our destiny and also our awareness and the efforts we put in for the common good.
And to think we were hell bent and trying our best to come here unless we were kicked out from wherever we were! It looks like we are in for the "long haul", kicked around till we get the message right - siva

Thanks, siva.
With these types of topics, I am lucky to get any replies at all, but you are always ready to chew the fat, the meat, or the vegies, whatever I serve up to you.
Thanks for that.
Yes, I suspect that there might be more souls than available bodies too.
There might be queuing, lining up, but I hope not too much fighting up there, over who gets to attach themselves to a certain body.
This story, of the great Jewish mystic, the Baal Shem Tov, (1698 to 1760) is really worthy of a read, regarding this topic, and which spurred me on to write about it here too.

@innertalks Thought provoking. Yes, what is naturally ordained is the way rather than force an issue. However, most couples want an offspring come what may. We had to wait for fourteen years and the event changed our lives. The pressure is even more in Asian societies.
I recall an old gentleman telling me years ago that it is not easy to make sense of life, reincarnation etc as the number of humanity is growing all the time. Maybe, we will be left scratching our heads all the time with no chance of a breakthrough. It could be, we are not supposed to know!
As I had remarked earlier, most here are more into topics that are not our cup of tea though I still respond to some I feel like. I want a deeper exchange of views on the discussions and I too like to spar with you with tete a tete going back and forth - siva

@innertalks That is a practical way to look at the issue.
I recall reading the mental agonies we go through due to our thinking we are different and associating ourselves with our physical body and mind. We are made of the same stuff with trillions of cells and they should be having feelings too!
When we think ill of another, they could well be wondering why at all for such thoughts and deeds as we are the same inside. Why this insanity when we are made to coexist and help one another? Again, the virus drives home the point loud and clear, we are no different and equally vulnerable - siva
