You ask 3 rabbis and you’ll get 4 answers. Judaism really just doesn’t talk about the afterlife that much. You’ll definitely find some writings and many ideas/thoughts, many of which are centered around the Messiah; however as a religion the afterlife is very much an afterthought. There is no consensus on what it looks like, and it isn’t used as motivation
It definitely depends on the sect of Judaism and the readings and teachings one chooses to look at, but I would argue that the afterlife just isn’t a core piece of modern Judaism for millions of Jews. It also isn’t a religion that tries to convert others, which is another way it differs from the other monotheist Abrahamic religions
That’s not really true about Judaism
Can you elaborate for those of us who don’t know shit about Judaism?

That’s really interesting given how it’s an important aspect of most other popular faiths
