Judaism is a religion that focuses mainly on this world, and the Torah says very little about what happens when you die, but there are some beliefs in the afterlife.

Some Jewish people believe in heaven.

Heaven is a place where souls live before coming down to earth, and the place they go back to after finishing their mission in this world.

Other Jewish people believe in reincarnation (gilgul hanefesh), but unlike the reincarnation of Indian beliefs, this is seen as a reward, rather than a trial.

There is also a belief in the resurrection of the dead at the time of the Messiah, but this belief is not widly held by Reform and Conservative Jews.

Hell is a concept in the Christian and Islamic religions, but not in Judaism. For Christians and Muslims, the unsaved do burn in hell forever. Jews believe that they merely lose out from going to heaven. Another point of view is that neither heaven nor hell is real. Hell is therefore not an eternal place and there is no punishment in the afterlife.
