Do Jews believe that non-jews will go to an eternal hell?
I know that Christians think that only Christians won't go to an eternal hell, so I guess they think Jews too will go to hell becasue they do not believe in Jesus as a savior.
Do Jews believe in an eternal hell where non -jews will be tormented for eternity, what do they believe about after life?
thanks
Meg M, I don't care about your vatican link, most Christians believe that ONLY TROUGH JESUS CHRIST you will save yourself from the tortures of hell.
Plus it makes no difference, you still believe in an ETERNAL HELL, eternal torture makes no sense no matter who will end up there.

Jews are not exclusive. We do not think we have the only way to G-d, just that we have a higher standard to meet because of the Covenant with G-d.
We also do not believe in Hell. Not for us, not for you, not for anyone. We believe there is no Hell.

answer: No, they don't. Some Jews believer there is a place where those who haven't lived up to the laws are sent but its only for a short time. Jews do not believe in eternal torment.
Jews don't believe that you have to be Jewish to reach the divine, that's why they don't try and convert everyone.

Jews do not believe in hell. So they do not worry about going there.
God told Adam in the garden of eden "for dust you are and to dust you will return"
Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.
They do not accept Jesus as the messiah or the new testament.
They accept only the old testament of the bible.

No Jews don't believe in hell.
I think they call non-Jews 'gentiles' and gentiles may also be allowed in heaven.
