[Dan S.]

I hesitate to speak for ‘Jews’ generally, because I’m not very learned in my religion. But here are my observations. I have never heard a Jewish sermon or prayer mention the afterlife. I’ve been told by a leading scholar of the Old Testament (who was my teacher) that this is an invention of Christianity. A very successful one, I might add! Some Jews believe the Messiah will someday come, and that the dead will be resurrected. I suppose life will be good then. But it’s not the same concept as ‘heaven’ and it doesn’t include ‘hell’.
