There is not a unified view within Judaism on the subject of the afterlife. There are some interesting ideas within Jewish mysticism (kaballah) on the subject, but it is difficult to explain, and the majority of Jews do not study kabbalah in-depth. That said, the important thing about Judaism is that it is much more oriented on being a good person in life because this is right and it is what G-d commanded of us. We do not spend our time talking about the afterlife and worrying about reward or punishment; rather, we try to focus on this world and on doing what we should.

I've never heard the term 'Hebrew Food' before. Foods that are traditional within in Jewish families I've always heard called Jewish food. This often overlaps with Middle Eastern/Medditeranean foods, like hummus, falafel, and so on that can be found throughout countries in the Middle East. Within Judaism there exist two major branches of Jews, the Sephardi (Mediteranean/Spanish) and Azkenazi (European) who have differing traditions and ways of preparing food. Sephardi and Azkenazi also follow kashrut/kosher (dietary) law differently. However, it should be mentioned that just because a food is kosher doesn't mean it is traditional Jewish food; for example, one can make kosher sushi but it is in no way traditionally Jewish.
