Judaism, in its initial form, didn't have much of an afterlife per se. In early Judaism, the afterlife was rarely mentioned or alluded to; they thought that death was considered to be quite simply a fact, and that what comes after it shouldn't be worried over too much. Instead, they believed that one should focus all one's thoughts on this life. This is the reason that having children (lots and lots of children) is so very important in Judaism--in a very real way, one's children were thought to be one's afterlife.

It depended on which sect of the Judaic religion you belonged to - the Sadducees believed very differently than the Pharisees - but this gives you at least two avenues to research deeper into the Judaic belief system. The Sadducees did not believe in an after life that's why they were sad u cee?

The afterlife (or life after death) is a generic term referring to a continuation of existence, typically spiritual and experiential, beyond this world, or after death.This belief is usually manifested in a religion, as it pertains to phenomena beyond the ordinary experience of the natural world. Various evidences have been advanced throughout the ages for the existence of an afterlife:
Testimony of individuals who claim experiential knowledge of facets of afterlife
by having died and then been sent back to this life (near-death experiences)
by having visited the afterlife during a period of unconsciousness (out-of-body experiences)
by having seen the afterlife during a revelatory vision
by a unique personal gift of remembering an afterlife (before-life) existence
by having communicated with (or received a message from) someone who has died (after death communication or electronic voice phenomena)
Testimony of individuals who are thought to have special insights into the afterlife
holy ones
miracle workers
spectacular converts
Claimed testimony of visitors from the afterlife
God(s)
Angels
Spirits
Human intuitions of goodness thought to emanate from the afterlife
Rational philosophical or theological arguments
The immortal nature of the soul
The natural desire for immortality
