Judaism has no Devil nor any version of hell similar to those in Christian belief. The closest Judaism comes to the concept of hell is Gehinom, which is actually much closer to purgatory.
The Satan or Opposer in Judaism (Job ch.1), is an angel loyal to God whose primary function is to serve as a critic of humans and of God's plan, and a tempter.

Why is there a God and a devil?
Some scholars have pointed out that the concept of Satan did not enter Judaism until after the Babylonian Exile, when the followers of Judaism became exposed to the ideas of Zoroastrianism and returned with some similar beliefs. Strangely, Satan entered Judaism as a loyal servant of God, not as his adversary. In Christianity Satan is the devil, the adversary of God, much as in Zoroastrianism, where Angra Mainyu is the adversary of Ahura Mazda; equally uncreated, but ignorant and wholly malign. There is a God and a devil, through the process of syncretism of ancient faiths.
Who invented heaven?
Heaven was invented by early followers of Judaism, who, before Jesus' birth, came up with the idea of both heaven and hell, as well as the devil.
Is God fake or is the Devil fake?
If you are asking for an agnostic's point of view, the response is generally along the lines of "I don't see any hard evidence that god or the devil exist, but I have not completely ruled out the possibility of their existence." However, most adherents of the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) will state god and the devil are absolutely real as articles of their faith. Atheists will tell you god, the devil and other supernatural beings are categorically fake.
Why do people say the god of Judaism is Lucifer?
Maybe that's an anti-Semitic canard. The name Lucifer does not occur in Judaism. The God of Judaism is the Creator of the universe, who gave the Torah. Sayng "the god of Judaism is Lucifer" is an easy way for fundamentalist Christians to dismiss Jewish arguments and beliefs without actually having to argue why their beliefs are a more accurate picture of the world. Additionally, it allows them to easily dismiss Jews as vile devil-worshipers and ignore their humanity.
Do pagans believe in god?

Does Satan exist in pagan religions?
Satan is not worshiped in any Pagan religions. The only known religions in which Satan is a part are Satanism and Christianity (and its offshoots- Catholicism, Judaism, etc.). Please be very aware of this fact: Wiccans do not worship the devil, nor do Wiccans even believe in the devil.
Why does God not destroy the devil?
A:Jeffrey B. Russell (The Prince of Darkness) says that only four major religions have had a real Devil. These are Zoroastrianism, ancient Hebrew religion (but not modern Judaism), Christianity and Islam. Christianity is ambiguous in respect to the devil. On the one hand, God is all-powerful and could destroy the devil at a single command, but on the other, there will be a great war between the angels led by Michael and the demons led by the devil; although the angels will win, it will be a hard-fought contest. In Christian thought, the devil is an excellent proxy for evil, allowing the individual to absolve himself or herself of blame. More importantly, the existence of Satan absolves God for the existence of evil in this world. For Christianity to work the way it does, it needs the devil.
