    There is the thought of Hell in Judaism, but it’s not a place where humans go. At least that’s what I’ve been educated in Hebrew school.

    Jews in ancient Greece, Hellenic Jews, lived and worked among pagans.

    The thought of Hades passed to those Jews.

    Yes, it is mentioned in some of the apocryphal books, but that’s one of the reasons they were apocryphal and didn’t make it into the accepted canon. Most of the mentions of hell in the accepted canon of Judaism are better translated as "grave" (sheol). Other than that, there’s the mention of Ghenna. It was a valley where the rubbish of the city nearby Jerusalem was taken to and burnt. So clearly, it was a metaphorical reference, and not a literal one.
