Life on earth is the place to do the mitzvos (God's commands) while the soul is still inside the body and has free-will. The afterlife is not a time of free-will and it is too late to decide to suddenly start doing God's commands.

There is more, but that is one difference.

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.

What do Jewish people BELIVE happens after death?

Jewish beliefs about the afterlife vary widely among different communities and interpretations of scripture. Generally, many Jews believe in some form of an afterlife, which may include concepts like the World to Come (Olam Ha-Ba), resurrection of the dead, and the immortality of the soul. However, the focus in Judaism is often more on living a righteous life in the present rather than detailed doctrines about the afterlife. Consequently, beliefs can range from traditional views of paradise and reward to more ambiguous understandings of existence beyond death.
