I don't know, maybe its because I worked with so many jews and have a far greater respect for them than these xtian shitballs that I can't stand by while morons like G-C tell jews how to be jews.
Why don't you let their rabbi's handle the hard thinking, G-C. You are not up to the job.

Quote: the idea of a person suffering in agony forever does not sit easily with the notion of a loving God. You will be pleased to know, therefore, that the Jewish concept is very different. For a start, whereas Christianity has a clear road-map of the hereafter, with signposts to heaven and hell, and stopping off points in limbo and perdition, Judaism is much more cautious about what happens next.
To be blunt, we do not know, and those who claim to know are, at best, speculating and, at worst, deliberately misleading.
Quote: Throughout this rabbinic literature there are various descriptions of the nature and punishments of Gehinom mostly associated with fire. Many of these descriptions find similar parallels in Hellenistic literature and the punishments described reflect judicial procedures at the time of their composition such as the concept of “measure for measure”.
There is a key argument in the Talmud regarding the length of sentence in Gehinom for sinners and the widely accepted view is that with rare exception the longest sentence does not exceed twelve months. In this sense Gehinom is more like purgatory than eternal damnation.
