Yes. Jews believe in heaven. Christians believe in heaven and hell.
AnswerJews don't believe in the existence of either heaven or hell. Judaism barely spends any time discussing what may or may not happen when we die, in fact, there's barely any mention of this subject in the Tanach (Jewish Bible) at all.
There are some loose theories of what might happen though:
* When we die, our souls are cleansed of any wrongdoings. This is done by our accounting of every action done in life. It's believed that this process takes no longer than 12 months but most people don't do enough bad in life to warrant it taking a full 12 months.
* Our souls return to HaShem to wait for the world to come.
* Our souls may be reincarnated into different people so that we have additional chances to work to become closer to HaShem.
* Those souls that choose to be truly evil in life, cannot survive the process of cleansing and cease to exist.
Answer:Jews and Christians, and other religions in general, believe that the soul does not die with the body. In Judaism, this is a tenet of belief and is mentioned in the prophets and codified in the Principles of Maimonides. The Talmud spends entire chapters on this subject (see Sanhedrin, folio pages 90-110).

What is after death process in different religions?
The beliefs about the afterlife vary a lot between different religions. Religions usually believe in some kind of afterlife; some Christian denominations believe that we will return right here to this Earth, some time in the future; others believe in our souls going to a different world. Some other religions have a similar belief in our souls going to a world different to this one. Some oriental religions mainly, believe in "reincarnation" - that our souls will come back to this world in a different individual, perhaps even in an animal.
