The cultural image of hell, as it\u2019s commonly portrayed, is more a collage of ancient worldviews involving demons, underworlds, and hellfire. Much of this is not rooted in Jewish teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Torah teaches &#8220;\u05d0\u05d9\u05df \u05e2\u05d5\u05d3 \u05de\u05dc\u05d1\u05d3\u05d5&#8221; (ein od milvado) \u2014 there is no one besides G-d. This means the perceived duality between good and evil, as seen in other religions, is an illusion. G-d is entirely good, and everything He does is good. Although things may seem divided into separate categories to us, everything is ultimately orchestrated by G-d. The concept of a rebellious angel forming his own power, as found in other traditions, does not align with Jewish belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Judaism, the revelation of G-d&#8217;s unity and glory can occur in two ways: through the reward of the righteous or through the punishment of the wicked. Both outcomes serve to sanctify G-d&#8217;s name. Whether someone is rewarded for good deeds or punished for wrongdoing, both paths reaffirm G-d\u2019s justice and sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, there is no true duality in creation. If there is postmortem punishment, it is not meant to eternally torture a person. Instead, Judaism has a concept closer to what might be called purgatory. This phase is seen as a process in which a person is purified from the damage they caused during their lifetime. While this period may involve suffering, it is ultimately a form of restoration, similar to watching an old object being carefully repaired and restored to its original state. The notion of renewal speaks deeply to us as humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Punishment, whether in this world or the next, is meant to return the individual to a pristine state, not to subject them to eternal torment. The goal is not endless suffering but purification. Everything comes from G-d, and everything aims to bring us back to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As stated in Psalm 139: &#8220;If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there.&#8221; This illustrates that G-d is present everywhere, in the highest places and the lowest depths. The idea that there are places or situations where G-d is absent is simply false. G-d is present in every situation, whether it\u2019s in a bright, enlightened setting or a darker, more isolated space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the concept of Gehinnom, the Jewish interpretation of a temporary hell, is meant to purify and bring the soul closer to G-d, rather than to inflict eternal suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Par le rabbin Tani Burton<\/strong><br><br><strong>Si vous voulez d'autres questions \u00e0 m\u00e9diter,&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sukkatshalom-bneinoach.com\/fr\/category\/rabbi-burton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VOIR LES AUTRES BLOGS DU RABBIN MOSHE BERNSTEIN  <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Copyright, tous droits r\u00e9serv\u00e9s.
