Is the Jewish afterlife (Tikkun Olam) more like the Christian afterlife or the Muslim afterlife?

I know that the Christian afterlife (”heaven”) everyone is turned into spirits that pretty much are one with angels and God, and in the Islamic afterlife (”jannah”) everyone gets human bodies and sits in palaces and gardens physically, but what’s the Jewish heaven like?

answer: last part first – no. All who are righteous go to G-d before the non-righteous. Jew or not.

there are many views because the afterlife isn’t described in Judaism. Most Jews don’t focus on the afterlife, they let G-d worry about that. Jews focus on the here-and-now: keeping G-d’s commandments, studying Torah, caring for others and helping to repair the world.

Some Jews believe that when someone dies and they are righteous, they go to join G-d immediately. If they aren’t righteous they spend a short time away from G-d.

Some Jews believe that we enter a sleep-like state until the Messiah/Messianic age and then join in the new world to come.

Some Jews believe in reincarnation until the Messiah/Messianic age or until one becomes righteous enough to join G-d.
