    No, not all Elves are allowed to re-incarnate, and not all Elves would wish to be re-incarnated. Fëanor, for instance, was not allowed to re-incarnate. Also some Elvish fëar (roughly corresponding, but not identical, to the Christian concept of the soul) rejected the summons to Mandos, and they would therefore not be re-incarnated. The history of Elvish re-incarnation is quite interesting, and the view that I present here is roughly consistent with the view developed ca. 1950 (when Elvish re-incarnation was almost exclusively by the means of being born again as a child who would then later regain their memories
