[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Jewish belief was that with the coming of the messiah, all dead people will rise up to heaven. I thought that's why it's not okay to get cremated or get an autopsy.[/quote] I posted this upthread. So this is incorrect? There is not a part of Judaism that says when the messiah comes, the dead will rise up again? And that you shouldn't be cremated for that reason?[/quote] We really aren't like Christians with a strict narrow definition of what to believe about every little thing. Some think this is fact, some think it is metaphor. None of us think it affects what it means to be Jewish or how a Jew should behave every day. So yeah, it is correct, but not something we really focus on. It is a Christian idea to be so taken with the afterlife. It just isn't a priority for us.[/quote]
