      In the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Bible, Sheol (שאול) – not “Hell,” nor “Heaven.”
      Sheol a poetic, neutral term for: the grave. The Greek notions of an underworld or the Egyptian mythology of “the realm of the dead” – the place where all humans go when they die, righteous or wicked – not a subject of Torah common law. Why? The revelation of the Torah at Sinai for the living and not the dead. The aggadah located in mesechta ברכות explicitly teaches this mussar through the story of a Man after having a fight with his wife going out and sleeping in a graveyard. The halacha likewise instructs this exact same mussar when ever a Jew enters a graveyard he first tucks his tzitzit inside his pants because mitzvot only apply to the living and not the dead.

      The Torah does not present a dualistic afterlife system. No eternal Heaven for the righteous. No eternal Hell for the wicked. Moshe cut an oath brit of either Blessing/Curse – rule the land with justice vs endure Egyptian slavery injustice. The latter called g’lut/exile.

      The Talmudic reference of “gehinnom” refers to the T’NaCH geographic valley south of Jerusalem wherein assimilated and intermarried Jews sacrificed their sons and daughters to other Gods, specifically Molech in Gê Ben‑Hinnom. The Baal worship completely apart and different from the worship of Molech.

      The aggadic portions which address this subject have no halachic applications – despite the Rambam who erroneously ruled otherwise in the matter of the 7 mitzvot gere toshav. Talmudic Aggada mussar “limits” the metaphor משל “gehinnom” to 12 months duration, for simple Jews who treat Torah as religion rather than common law. Talmudic mussar addresses the concept of purification.

      For example: The practice of placing a dead body in the Mikveh (a ritual bath) prior to burial for ritual purification. The abstract concept of tohor vs tuma middot stands on the foundation of Moshe warning Israel not to approach their wives three days before the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Rabbi Meir taught 48 “degrees” of tuma. This subject based upon making a דיוק upon the 13 tohor spirits revealed to Moshe at Horev 40 days after the sin of the av tuma avoda zara Golden Calf wherein the ערב רב-assimilated and intermarried Israelites-translated the revelation of HaShem permanently living within the Yatzir Ha-Tov hearts of the chosen Cohen people – the definition of the revelation of the Torah at Sinai; instead the ערב רב worshipped word-name translations. Specifically they translated the word אלהים in the place of the 1st commandment שם השם לשמה. Therein they rejected the revelation of the Torah that tohor middot לשמה — as taught in mesechta Baba Metzia — לא בשמים היא.

      Immersing the body in the Mikveh showcases the community’s respect for the deceased. This act, ideally performed by the chevra kadisha, (a sacred burial society dedicated to the preparation of the body), adhering to specific halachic rituals and maintaining the dignity of the deceased. The practice of placing a deceased body in the Mikveh prior to burial emphasizes purification, respect, and adherence to Jewish law – as the last act, akin to saying kre’a shma before dying. Engaging in these halachic rituals – a show of respect for the living family survivors who mourn for their dead as an opening expression of their mourning.
