Gehenna
Gehenna, or Gehinnom in Hebrew, is often thought of as the Jewish hell and is the term used in rabbinic literature to refer to the place where the wicked go after death. The name likely originates from a valley south of Jerusalem called Gehinnom or Gey Ben Hinnom, which the prophet Jeremiah cursed for being a site of idolatry and child sacrifice.
