Judaism barely spends any time talking about what might happen when one dies and does not have more than loose theories about life after death. This is intentional as Judaism's focus is on our current life and making it as good as possible through our actions.

What do Reform Jews believe about life after death?

Jewish beliefs on the subject of life after death are varied. The tradition teaches that the dead will be resurrected, the righteous will be rewarded and sinners will face justice, but it but gives no detail. Judaism on the whole teaches that we should focus on this life rather than on the world to come, and Jews are frequently puzzled by the way Christians seem to obsess on Heaven, Hell and some kind of salvation in the afterlife. This means that, in general, regardless of the stream of Judaism from which a person comes, privately held beliefs about the world to come are not seen as crucial. Reform Jews generally tend to take what the tradition says as more likely to be allegoric than factual, but like other Jews, individual beliefs range from skepticism to firm belief that there is an afterlife.
