"Hell" in a discussion of Judaism is a place the soul goes after it leaves the body (i.e. after death) to be punished for sinning and purged of the spiritual remnants of sin. Many, many people go there; it's not permanent. I seem to recall reading of a fellow who sinned so much, and caused so many others to sin, that he's in hell permanently, and there may be others, too. Then the soul is close to God, which you may call "heaven", permanently, or unless and until it comes down to earth to live in another body for a while.
