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.

Famous quotes containing the word judgment:
“Once you’ve been launched into parenthood, you’ll need all your best skills, self-control, good judgment and patience. But at the same time there is nothing like the thrill and exhilaration that come from watching that bright, cheerful, inquisitive, creative, eccentric and even goofy child you have raised flourish and shine. That’s what keeps you going, and what, in the end, makes it all worthwhile.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
