you won't find the word "heaven" in a jewish bible -- you will find "shamayim" which means both "skies" and heaven, and you will find the notion of a messianic age (which some commentators equate with heaven -- some say after death we lie in wait for the resurrection, others say that we go immediately to this next, perfect world, and in messianic days, all people, alive and dead, will be there).
You will also find many references to being rewarded with a "long life of many days" or some other similar meaning construction which has many extra words -- the commentators derive from these extra words that the reference is to something beyond a long earthly life.

hmmm. I don't think you will find a verse. I have read one that says salvation is of the Jews (John 4:21-23). Jesus was born into the Jewish race so He is of the Jews. Yet, I'm not scholar. I wonder if the Greek translation might infer something more. Yet, I believe they have to decide for themselves whether or not to place their faith in the Messiah.
They are still God's chosen people though. During the endtimes, they will play a pivotal role and many of the Jews will recognize Christ as the Messiah. God is good, merciful and just so I leave the things I really don't understand in His hands.
Lucky, thnx for the reference to Romans 11. I learned something!

That's an easy one. Just look up Prevarications 1:2, where it is written, "Yea though ye be Jew and wear the cap of the skull, ye shall enter paradise and sorry about everyone else but we had to make a decision. Verily."

Well you want find jews going to Heaven without going through Christ. Jesus is the only way for anyone.

Heaven and hell are newer concepts to spread religion faster by giving a goal to the life.

they are gods chosen people. if gods people didnt go to heaven, who would?
moreover jesus was a jew himself and specifically said that if the ten commandments are followed and one lives his life responsibly in accordance with them, eternal life will be theirs.
So... jews are people too! there were no christians until after jesus died!

well, since Jesus was a Jew, I'm sure that there's a clause....
