[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that so many people said no. What about Olam Haba? https://ohr.edu/ask_db/ask_main.php/25/Q2/[/quote] 1. The thing that isn't well understood about Judaism by those who are not Jewish is that within Judaism there is a wide range of opinions. Most Jews don't really think about an afterlife that much. It just isnt' the focus of the faith. We have myths, alegories and stories, but generally it just isn't wehere we put much thought. 2. Ohr Somayach is not a mainstream group. I don't know the group, but they are faaaaar from mainstream. [/quote] Orthodox Judaism believes in an afterlife. It's pretty fundamental to our faith. Ohr Somayach is mainstream Orthodox. [/quote] The web page certainly seems a bit more messiah-focused to be anything like the Orthodox I know. But even among the Orthodox, Jews really don't put the emphasis on the afterlife in the way the Christians do. [/quote]
