Question 22

Jewish beliefs on the afterlife

Answer 22

Judaism
The nature of the afterlife is not frequently considered in Judaism, for two main reasons:
• It’s important to live a good life now, on preparation for whatever comes after.
• The ways of God are not for humans to understand, so there’s no need to try.
General ideas include:
• Jews refer to the afterlife as olam ha ba, which means the world to come.
• There is a soul, a fragment of God in every person, which embodies the meaning and purpose of our lives.
• In early Jewish thought the dead were transported to sheol, a shadowy underworld of existence.
• Many Orthodox Jews believe in some sort of resurrection.
• Reform Jews have rejected a belief in the resurrection. Some believe that memories of people live on after them; others believe the soul lives on, but with different opinions as to where.
• Everyone will be judged and those who led good lives will be close to God; others will be purified in hell.
