Judaism does not have a Hell, sorry

Fatima-

Just thought I would educate you about one little detail: there is no HELL in Judaism. Only Islam threatens horrible hell and judgement day for unbelievers, provides machiavellian descriptions of flesh burning and suffering to scare the wits out of ;believers; and promises virgins in the afterlife.

Judaism believes in doing good in this life, and the reward? being a tzadik (righteous person).

Also, keep in mind that most of the noble sayings, traditions and ideas were taken from the Torah by those writing the Quran, which pre-existed the Quran by 2500 years or more. Not original at all, but they sure took those ideas and went off the deep end with them.

Just think, before Islam existed, and even Christianity existed, your ancestors were all Jewish!
