In Judaism it is believed there is reward and punishment in the afterlife but how it is dealt is not known.

We do know there are five categories of unrepentant people who have a continuing punishment.

One who cruelly imposes fear upon large numbers of people is one who persecutes the community oppressively until they are very afraid of him.

It is. Among the non haredi groups and reform and conserved they paint a pretty picture of the after life. However it is well documented that it exists along with reincarnation. The religious leaders who deny it or paint a pretty picture of iit are misleading us

My rabbis translate gehinom as purgatory. Regardless of the name, it is not a pretty place.

ItalianZionist:
It's amazing to me that even among orthodox Jews thrre is no universally accepted agreement on this important topic. Or is there? But it has not been posted here? When I bring this up to my orthodox friends, they tend to avoid the topic.
