Judaism considers a person as comprising a body and a soul.
Upon death, the body ceases to live and the soul continues a spiritual existence.
Depending on the merits achieved during the physical life, the soul's placing after life will be determined, simply stated, in either heaven or hell. The length of stay in hell is in proportion to the transgressions committed against the will of G-d.
At some moment in time when G-d considers it appropriate, there will be a general revival of the dead. The souls will return to earth and the dead bodies will be resurrected, and the souls and bodies will once again be united.

Judaism (the Torah) itself is their meaning and has the answers.
There are a number of relevant definitions for a wake. For the meaning of "hold a vigil," the answer is a qualified Yes, since in Judaism we do not leave the body of the deceased alone, from death to burial. Customarily, one person sits near the body in this interim; and it can be done by different people in shifts. For the meaning of "holding a memorial celebration," the answer is No.
Yes.
