Judaism doesn't dwell heavily upon what happens when we die; and there's little mention of this subject in the Tanach (Jewish Bible).
Concerning what happens after death, it has been said that:
* When we die, our souls are cleansed of any wrongdoings. We must give an 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 God 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 God.
* Those souls that choose to be truly evil in life, cannot survive the process of cleansing and cease to exist.

  • Answer 2:
The soul continues to exist and is treated in accordance with the person's actions while he/she was alive. This is one of the central beliefs of Judaism, as codified by Rambam (Maimonides).
The afterlife is detailed at length in the Talmud. A full 20 pages of Talmud (Sanhedrin 90-110) are given to this subject. The afterlife is also referred to briefly in Torah (Bible) verses such as Genesis 15:15, which states that "You (Abraham) will come to your fathers in peace and will be buried in good (ripe; full) old age." This does not mean merely to be buried with one's forefathers, since Abraham was not buried with them. Such verses are stated many times.
The prophets are more explicit with such references (such as Isaiah 26:19, Daniel 12:13).
