Jewish Eschatology - The Last Judgment

The Last Judgment

In Judaism, the day of judgment happens every year on Rosh HaShana, therefore the belief in a last day of judgment for all mankind is disputed. Some Rabbis hold that there will be such a day following the resurrection of the dead. Others hold that there is no need for that because of Rosh HaShana. While yet others hold that this accounting and judgment happens when one dies. Yet others hold that the last judgment only applies to the gentile nations and not the Jewish people.
