reward and punishment A lovely article. Just on one point Judaism differs: There IS in fact a very exacting Heavenly reward and punishment system in heaven. This is one of our 13 principles of faith. We may not be privy in this life to which of our actions have been rewarded or which have been forgiven, but in the next world we will be given a detailed list of all our actions and Heavenly accounting for them. This is probably the most contested issue: Why free will if there is punishment?
