No to animal sacrifice. If they did, they would only be allowed to do it at the temple, which of course doesn't exist.
The rabbi I studied under said "yuk" to animal sacrifice.
He also said that Jews don't believe in an afterlife, but there are numerous references in the Old Testament that say otherwise, such as in Ezekiel (38:15, I think), where God said he will raise his people up from their graves.

Yes heaven is in Old testament and they believe that but the New testament says they would stop doing the sacrifice and they did pretty much when the Nation broke up. They still do a meal but it not the bloody mess any more. Is more like thanksgiving than blood on posts.

Most Jews believe that something good will happen when they die but they don't dwell on it. Almost no Jews believe in Hell - it would be too evil for a god to do to his children.
Nope, no animal sacrifices.

most of us believe that something nice is going to happen to people when they pass on. there is no real consensus on what that will be. no, we don't sacrifice animals.

they do and don't depending on which particular branch of judaism they follow, such as reformed, orthodox, modernist, etc.
