  • It definitely depends on the sect of Judaism and the readings and teachings one chooses to look at, but I would argue that the afterlife just isn’t a core piece of modern Judaism for millions of Jews. It also isn’t a religion that tries to convert others, which is another way it differs from the other monotheist Abrahamic religions


  • You ask 3 rabbis and you’ll get 4 answers. Judaism really just doesn’t talk about the afterlife that much. You’ll definitely find some writings and many ideas/thoughts, many of which are centered around the Messiah; however as a religion the afterlife is very much an afterthought. There is no consensus on what it looks like, and it isn’t used as motivation
