According to Judaism, where do faithful Jews go when they die and where dies everyone else go? Scriptural support is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
Don't think there are any Conservative Jews here, and there are several disparate sects, not one 'Jewish faith'; depended on which 'Messiah' their cult follows at the moment.


There are three explicit examples in the Hebrew Bible of people being resurrected from the dead:


  • The prophet Elijah prays and God raises a young boy from death (1 Kings 17:17–24)
  • Elisha raises the son of the Shunammite woman (2 Kings 4:32–37); this was the very same child whose birth he previously foretold (2 Kings 4:8–16)
  • A dead man's body that was thrown into the dead Elisha's tomb is resurrected when the body touches Elisha's bones (2 Kings 13:21)

While there was no belief in personal afterlife with reward or punishment in Judaism before 200 BCE,[2] in later Judaism and Samaritanism it is believed that the God of Israel will one day give teḥiyyat ha-metim ("life to the dead") to the righteous during the Messianic Age, and they will live forever in the world to come (Olam Ha-Ba).[3] Jews today base this belief on the Book of Isaiah (Yeshayahu), Book of Ezekiel (Yeḥez'qel), and Book of Daniel (Dani'el). Samaritans base it solely on a passage called the Haazinu in the Samaritan Pentateuch, since they accept only the Torah and reject the rest of the Hebrew Bible.

During the Second Temple period, Judaism developed a diversity of beliefs concerning the resurrection. The concept of resurrection of the physical body is found in 2 Maccabees, according to which it will happen through recreation of the flesh.[4] Resurrection of the dead also appears in detail in the extra-canonical books of Enoch,[5] in the Apocalypse of Baruch,[6] and 2 Esdras. According to the British scholar in ancient Judaism Philip R. Davies, there is "little or no clear reference ... either to immortality or to resurrection from the dead" in the Dead Sea scrolls texts.[7] Both Josephus and the New Testament record that the Sadducees did not believe in an afterlife,[8] but the sources vary on the beliefs of the Pharisees.



Christians are a 'Jewish faith' also, so it's not a clear question; Christians are more old school Torah than the majority of rabbinical Judaism is.

The poster @Death Angel has posted on some of this before , but I can't recall the threads, and haven't seen him around in a while. Maybe I'm not remembering the name properly.

Not a subject their Elohim masters much discussed or taught about probably because thev lived such a huge number of years . Certainly the Enforcers ( Arch Angels translated ) lived thousands of years. .
The Jews under their domain were starting to live incredibly long lives compared to the earth "norm" , see Old Testament etc --- but DNA changes have not endured in this area and "prescriptions" have disappeared .
As have the Elohim . But not for much longer
