Putting it another way, any true religion believes that one's conduct in life MATTERS. Virtue will ultimately be rewarded and evil punished. Psychologically, this belief is one of the main justifications for the very existence of religion. In life, virtue is often NOT rewarded in any meaningful way, and bad people often go to their graves fat, dumb, and happy. The Pie in the Sky rectifies this perceived injustice.
Judaism has always been "weak" as regards the Pie in the Sky. I do not believe that there is any definitive jewish teaching regarding the afterlife, and there is nothing definitively describing rewards and punishments ("heaven & hell").
And while Jewish teachings encourage altruism in many aspects, they are not formulated as commands or imperatives (or at least not taken as such).
the failure of judaism to embrace the Pie in the Sky has caused it to fail as a religion. For most of its adherents.

Everything you said about Judaism is wrong and through your lack of knowledge of Judaism, probably just a selective observation of a small sample of Jews and not Judaism.Les Moonves - Wikipedia
It pains me to write this, but what the hell, it's an anonymous forum so here goes.
The (Roman Catholic) Second Vatican Council, as I saw it, defined a legitimate religion as one that (a) believed in a supreme being, (b) believed in an eternal soul, and (c) believed that in some way, after death, a virtuous life would be rewarded and an evil life would be punished. This last belief is sometimes cynically referred to as the "pie in the sky."

So it is with much regret that i bring my lifelong observation that jews are often at Ground Zero in areas where immorality rears its ugly head. Look at a listing of "slum landlords," and jewish names abound. In the days when pornography was nearly outlawed, the profiteers in this sordid business were almost all jews. As the common culture (in film) broke taboo after taboo, the trailbreakers were all jews. The businesses that exploit the poor, ignorant masses...pawn shops, ghetto jewelers, payday lenders, furniture "rental" stores...are all dominated by jewish businessmen. Not strictly illegal, but far from moral.
Today one notes that ethnic jews are walking away from their faith in droves, utterly rejecting its teachings on homosexualty, marriage, and abortion. Many Reform jews freely admit to being either atheist or agnostic.
In Israel, judaism seems to have devolved into such a self-centered incestuous cult in which nothing but the tiny clique matters.
Outside Israel, even among the truly faithful - orthodox and conservative congregations - judaism does not seem to result in a great deal of altruistic activity, save from a few ultra-rich jews who throw crumbs about, largely for their own glorification (M. Bloomberg).
Does virtue ultimately matter?
The subject of the above link is called a philanthropist by some, but obviously is a morally hollow fellow. Before knowing for certain i would have bet a thousand dollars that he was a jew.
So my thesis is as follows: the failure of judaism to embrace the Pie in the Sky has caused it to fail as a religion. For most of its adherents.
Judaism is what brought you the teachings of Resurrection that got bastardized by Roman plagiarizing the Baal death scene in creating it's Jesus death scene.
In Judaism yes death is no more rememberance, however as I'll explain later*, they teach resurrection as the only way to be rewarded for creating that perfected world to come and even science proves Judaic philosophy through Bohm and Kohns theorems in that you are punished or rewarded by your acts through cause and affect and inter connectivity.
Thus children paying the price for their father's sins in the Tanakh are science fact and historically proven.
One recent example of this fact is seen in how the kids of Nazis Germany's elders suffer immigration problems today, because they so misstreated immigrants in the past, that today they feel obligated to do the opposite at their own demise and suffering. so rhe sons suffer at the acts of their fathers as a Biblical teaching is seen true through history.
*JUDAIC RESURRECTION TEACHING*
that the only path to eternity and justice for those who lived right would be to HaShev (return/place back) into LIFE to see how their works lead to a perfected place in LIFE. HENCE heaven (olam habah) means time to come (future perfected). In other words they taught a message of life and reward in life while greek death cultcand Egyptian underworld teachings in Christianity taught a message of deathvthat therefore lead society to death (over 50 million murdered in thousands of wars over the messengers of death).
*little known fact : the Rabbi in the OT who taught the resurrection concept was Rabbi Yohoshua ben Channiah and he predicted the exact bone used in the process as the only bone we get the best entact DNA from in cloning.
It's my opinion that this predated Rabbi was used as a minute portion of the created Jesus image because the NT mentions Jesus going to Channa (to see his father) which could actually be seeing Channa his father not town*, a story confused by passing it down the line or plagiarized as many OT stories were done in creating his image.
*evidence they mix people names with towns is seen in Matthew in falacious placement of Jesus into Micah 5 where "Bethlehem Ephrata" is a person out of the lineage, even the word clan is used and has nothing to do with the town Bethlehem.

Judaism failed to proselytize. Just the opposite, in fact; it harbored proclivities toward intermarriage and idolatry. Within its own framework, it was a peculiar community of people who did not participate in larger community festivals and observations, who practiced circumcision, who refused to commit to a full week of work, and who abstained from eating perfectly good foods. Judea even failed to maintain its very identity after the Roman-Jewish Wars.Putting it another way, any true religion believes that one's conduct in life MATTERS. Virtue will ultimately be rewarded and evil punished. Psychologically, this belief is one of the main justifications for the very existence of religion. In life, virtue is often NOT rewarded in any meaningful way, and bad people often go to their graves fat, dumb, and happy. The Pie in the Sky rectifies this perceived injustice.

This is why Christianity has been considered a death cult since late antiquity. If you do what you are told now and accept whatever your earthly fate is then you will be rewarded..........later....when you are dead. That big ol' meany is going to get it..........later........when he's dead. Let me repeat that: Justice will be served when you are dead. Just keep one foot in the grave at all times. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

Given the Israeli Gov’t has a active program supporting academic falsification of archeological ‘discoveries’ it’s almost impossible to separate ancient myth from recent claims.Even modern Judaism failed to establish its own homeland. Jews could only claim land for themselves nearly 1900 years after they lost it thanks to a League of Nations mandate. Modern Israel has little if any connection to its ancient past. It is merely a political state that has yet to rebuild its temple or renew its covenant with God.
Somehow I don’t believe that was what he was getting at. But hey, there’s an opportunity for you to create an atheist charity to fill that void.Pulling funding for contraception in Africa.Like what?I don’t believe so.
