One of the most important beliefs in Judaism is that of techiyas hamesim, resurrection of the dead. What exactly is it? The Torah tells us that there will come a time when all the dead shall arise. Dying will cease, and all those who have already died will become full conscious, living beings again. This makes no sense, because who wants to come back as a living body rather than a soul? The physical body is like a jail for the lofty spiritual soul, so how is it that resurrection is a reward and not a torture? Delve into the truth behind resurrection.
