Jews don't believe in hell. Hell is a Christian thing.

In the time of the Jews, there was a location where they collected the cities trash. This trash dump would be burned, and would burn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is thought that if you were someone who died that did terrible things in life, that your body was taken to this dump and thrown in, for it to burn for all of eternity. At the time, no one ever thought the place would stop burning.

So, there are scholars who feel the christian version of hell comes from this place, that hell as it's defined in the bible is just a misrepresentation of an earthly location.

...or a metaphor. That's a description of the Christian Hell you have there.

 

 

Yes. That's where I am saying the Christian Hell came from.
