Okay, I'm a Jew and I'm telling you that hell does not exist in Judaism. There is no concept of hell in Judaism, if what you mean by hell as the place where there's eternal fire and suffering and a red guy with horns and a pitchfork.

good question, here are the facts:
Jews do believe in hell.
HOWEVER, our "hell" is drastically different from the hell of christianity. For example, we don't see it as a punishment; we see it as a cleansing process. As such, it doesn't last forever; it lasts as long as is necessary to cleanse the soul (in jewish texts, it is said that it doesn't last longer than a year).

No, and neither does any Christian who has any understanding of the Hebrew scriptures and prophets. Hell is a pagan myth that was inserted into Christianity. It was never part of what the prophets, Jesus, or the apostles taught.

No, we dont believe necassarly in heaven or hell, We believe more in a sort of reincarnation of the soul. At least in Jewish Renewal, now as far as orthodox, im not sure.

Hell was only introduced in the New Testament, by Jesus. And as Judaism doesn't use the New Testament... well.. that'd be a big no.

"Religion is for people who believe in hell. Spirituality is for people who have been there!"
