__//**Judaism - quoted from the Torah-primary**//__
1. "Life After Death." My Jewish Learning . N.p., n.d. Web. 4 Nov 2011. .

2. Daniel 12:2--"Many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to eternal life, others to reproaches, to everlasting abhorrence"

3. This quote is coming from the Torah and what its saying is that when every body dies there is going to be a judgement day and kind of the same thing as the Catholics believe. The good people will be rewarded and the evil, horrible people will be punished.

4. The next step in my research is to find a quote from the Bible and see if it is close to the quote from the Torah.

**Judaism-Secondary source.**

 * "It is important to remember that unlike some religions, Judaism is not focused on the question of how to get into heaven. Judaism is focused on life and how to live it." - Tracey Rich.


 * "It is true that the torah emphasizes immediate, concrete, physical rewards and punishments rather than abstract future ones."- Tracey Rich


 * "In addition, we have a firm belief in an afterlife, a world to come, where those who have lived a worthy life will be rewarded." - Tracey Rich

3. To the first quote stated by Tracey Rich, she is saying that most Jewish people don't worry about doing good things but they want to live a good happy life. But they do believe in the after life. Just like in my second quote that she says that the Torah does say that there is some kind of live after you pass away. The Torah is like the Jewish laws. It is filled with teachings and writings. So, after reading that I learned that Jews do believe in an afterlife. If you're Jewish, I suggest that you do good so that you will be rewarded instead of punished when you pass away.

4. The next step in my research is to find some more quotes that are stated right from the Torah.

2. [|Heb. 9:27] ) “Now this judgement is not about how good or bad you were. It is about whether or not you chose to take the path Jesus paid for, and the path God chose for people to be able to get to heaven.”

3. This quote which is from the BIble is telling us that just because you do good things in your life or not so great things, the thing that matters most is if it is really coming from your heart. God had died for everybody’s sins, so you have to try not to make sins in your ife

2. >
 * The Church teaches that "The souls of those who have died in the state of grace suffer for a time a purging that prepares them to enter heaven."
 * Among those punished will be Satan, the angels that supported him, and persons who have died without having repented their sins.

3. The first quote is telling us that even if you die with no sins, you still have to go to a place called Purgatory. And basically what this is, is a place for Catholics to stay in before you go to Heaven. It's temporary punishment. Until you stay there long enough for you to be free of sins then you can go to Heaven. If your evil while you're there then you have to go to Hell. Which is where the second quote comes in, saying the reason that you go to Hell. If you worship the Devil that is another reason that you would go to hell.

4. The next step is to find some quotes from the Bible, that state about the afterlife.

__Relfection-__

One thing that I learned from this religion unit is all about Hinduism. Before this unit I didn't know anything about it. One thing that I learned is that its the 3rd largest religion. I found that interesting that its the 3rd largest in the world but I knew nothing about it. In this unit I also learned the ranking's in Hinduism. Brahmin is the priest who is the highest, Kshatriya who is a warrior and is below the Brahmin. Next is the Vaisya who is a land owner or a merchant. After that is the Sudra who's a servant, and the lowest in the chain is the Untouchable. The untouchables are the people who are on the outside of the caste system and are considered impure.

Buddhism was another thing I learned about in this unit. The only things I knew about it were that the one of the main locations was China and that the spiritual leader was a Monk. I learned Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia are the other main locations in the world for this religion. Also, a place of rituals is called a Temple.

The reason I chose the topic of the Afterlife is because I am a Catholic and I had always learned about Heaven and Hell and I was curious to see if we were the only religion who believes in the afterlife. I chose Judaism because one of my best friends is Jewish and I was interested in seeing if we believe in the same thing or close to it. I learned a lot. Like for example that first of Judaism does have a belief in the afterlife, and that it is called the "Olam Ha-Ba" which means "The World to Come."

I feel really good about my final product. I worked really hard on it. One thing that I think is a strength is the design. I made it really eye catching so that a lot of people will be interested in looking at it. One thing that is a weakness is I don't think there is a weakness. like I said I worked hard and I hope that shows.
