About this episode
A central pillar of our belief is that when we adhere to the word of God, He will reward us in the Afterlife. Conversely, if we disobey God, we will suffer the consequences of our rebellion in the Afterlife as well. In this podcast we ponder an interesting question: the Torah discusses reward and punishment as well, but it omits any overt mention of the Afterlife. The Torah’s foretelling of reward and punishment seems to orient around reward and punishment in this world exclusively. How do we reconcile the principle of reward and punishment in the Afterlife with the apparent dearth of Scriptural evidence to that effect? That is a very good question and one that is addressed by many of our great Sages over the centuries. When we explore their answers we become armed with knowledge and background about the Afterlife that will prove vital for us in our quest to plumb the depths of this great mystery. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Sponsorship: Please consider sponsoring a podcast by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php .
