In Judaism, it is believed that nothing happens to the Soul when we die, and that the Souls will be resurrected when God decides it’s time.

Death in this religion does mean separation of soul and body, and the soul goes to the Spirit world. According to the Book of Daniel, which is part of the Torah, it states in verse 12.2 ‘’And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Basically they believe the soul is going to sleep until judgement day.
