[QUOTE="EddieJ1, post: 2617367, member: 271528"] There is very little dogma on the afterlife in Judaism. So, there are a variety of beliefs. Each Jew can decide for themselves what to believe. Jews do NOT start different congregations in order for everyone to share a particular belief in the afterlife. Most seem to think that ordinary bad people will be purified (for a period that is no longer than 11 months) and then go to heaven. The very bad people (the worst of the worst) fail to be purified after 12 months and then they just die. Jews focus on living this life, not worrying about the afterlife. http://www.jewfaq.org/olamhaba.htm http://www.aish.com/jl/48929477.html [/QUOTE]
