The christian belief in the afterlife is had an enternal life whithin heaven or hell. In tha jewish version is,Jewish conceptions of heaven and hell — Gan Eden (Garden of Eden) and Gehinnom — are associated with the belief in immortality and/or the World to Come, and were also developed independent of these concepts.
