Judaism does not believe in an afterlife. This is not so, and
in fact Jewish texts preserve a rich tradition of how this
concept has been understood and taught throughout Jewish
history. This book is an excellent introduction and overview of
how the afterlife is viewed in The Torah, The Talmud, the
medieval works, the Midrash and the books of the Kabbalah
(Jewish mysticism). Many medieval Jewish texts are presented
here for the first time in English.]
