As a matter of fact the Jews call me Noahide and I am allowed to enter the sanctuary in the synagogue.
I assure you they agree totally with the statement I used.
However there are different types of synagogues some orthodox some conservative some Kaballah etc,
Jews do not believe you die and go to heaven. Jews do not believe you die and go to hell.
Jews do not believe an angel sinned fell from heaven became Satan.
Jews only believe in one God not Three.
Jesus is a Jew.
All the apostles are Jews.
All writers in the new testament were Jews.
When Jesus returns He will be a Jew.
Jesus does not speak English.
All the Apostles taught from the old testament.
Many future events are in the old testament , prophecy
Please study the old testament.
If by Jews do not believe you go to heaven or hell when they die you mean that Jews do not believe in the afterlife at all in any capacity, I'm going to have to call shenanigans if you speak in the traditional sense. Yes some dont and yes today most do not. However, they would do well to read their scriptures more. That Pharisees and the Essenes believed in more than just this life. The following is but an incomplete taste to support this:
"Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead." -Isaiah 26:19
Psalm 22:26
The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise YHVH that seek him:
your heart shall live for ever.
Isaiah 53
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and
who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And
he made his grave with the wicked, and
with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased YHVH to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make
his soul an
offering for sin,
he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of YHVH shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
In blue where it says "Who shall declare his generation?" is an archaic king james expression It could be translated in modern terms as "Who can speak of his descendants, for his life was snuffed out." IN other words, he was killed without children. The following verses talk about how he will SEE HIS SEED and his days will be prolonged AFTER his death. Isaiah goes on to say that God will divide with him a portion with the great and that he will be given the spoils of his conquering victory along with the strong. A dead man receives no spoils of war. After his death, God will "prolong his days" with the promise that the will of God will prosper in him.
Here is a New Testament NARRATIVE account of a discussion between Christ and (unbelieving) Jews. Notice how the particular sect which they belong to is given the attribute of not believing in the after life which by virtue would suggest OTHER sects of Jews do?
Mark 12:18-28
Then come unto him the Sadducees,
which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
And Yeshua answering said unto them,
Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well,
But today's mainstream Jews reject the words of the prophets concerning select things. They are willfully ignorant of the Word of God. It is written in the Law of Moses:
"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you." Deuteronomy 4:2
"What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it." Deuteronomy 12:32
Yet they have done just that in that they have magnified the talmud and oral tradition above the authority of the Word of the Most High. They diminish even the very name of YHVH: A memorial for every generation; re-writing the Holy Scriptures which were perfect and adding in "ha shem" supposing to improve upon Moses and the prophets.
Christ did not keep silent on this matter:
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
And he said unto them, Full well
ye reject the commandment of God,
that ye may keep your own tradition.
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
as written in the volume of Jeremiah: The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means;
and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
and again isaiah says: Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as
this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is
taught by the precept of men:
I will agree with the rest of what you said, and even in the point of the after life in the "matter of fact" sense, but my point is:
Biblical Judaism teachers an after life. Mainstream Pseudo-Judaism does not.
