Jewish people help me out please!

Question

I'm reading about Judaism and there are some things that I don't quite understand..

For instance, in Christianity and Islam, when one dies he will be judged on the Last day of Judgement (there are signs for this day as well) and either go to h**l or go to heaven depending on the kind of life this person has lead when he was alive..

I got the impression that in Judaism its not exactly like that.. There is no Day of Judgement? No signs that indicate when that day comes..? No h**l and heaven? and if there's no reward or punishment then whats the point from living? and what happens when we die?

Please explain and if possible provide websites that explain further..

thank you!

There are many different beliefs about the afterlife in Judaism.  The talmud doesn't say much about it. Some Jews believe there is no afterlife, some believe in reincarnation, some believe in Gann Edan, some believe in heaven and h**l, some believe that the messiah will resurrect the righteouss when he comes.
