Eternal Life in the Kingdom. What are you suggesting they do believe in? Judaism is just the Old Testament. Talks about Heaven a lot in there. Only difference anybody could make here is that Christ says you must believe in Him to get there, Christ doesn’t come out saying that Jews go somewhere else. Christ WAS Jewish. All Christians are are followers of Judaism that believe Christ to be the Messiah whereas Jews don’t and believe the Messiah has yet to come and will be more like a warrior king like David was.

Eh. There's different thoughts. Judaism proper doesn't have a concrete idea of what the afterlife is. There have even been branches of Judaism that claim there is no afterlife. And there's branches that believe essentially the same thing as Christians.

It's important to know, that when it comes to mysticism, there's only one objectively correct answer, which is that Christianity is correct, and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to study up on their mysticism and learn to think objectively!

I agree. But I still find it useful to understand other religious systems. Helps me to see where they're coming from.

For instance: I think a great deal of the acceptance of Islamic infiltration in this country would stop in its tracks if people educated themselves as to exactly what Muslims believe.

Modern Judaism, in particular, might be wrong about a great deal, but it's not malicious as some here seem to believe. It's almost universally Jews who walk away from the faith, or practice a watered-down version that might as well be atheism, that develop harmful political beliefs.

Yeah, I think that part of this is even covered in the New Testament, where it mentions that the Sadducees do not believe in heaving, angels or demons, but the Pharisees do. It's the part where they talk about the woman who has been married multiple times and ask who she's married to in heaven?

(Answer: nobody. It's "until death do you part" for a reason.)

This is the correct answer.
Afterlife isn’t debated by Jews since it’s something that god controls and you kinda should just let him do his job while you do yours (and that’s mostly just to study the Torah per the actual rules).
