I was reading Kissing Girls on Shabbat about the struggles of a lesbian growing up in a Hasidic community. Hell and Satan are mentioned at different points. I was confused because those are strongly Christian ideas coming from an extremely observant community.
My limited understanding (conservative, no Hebrew school) is that scripture about a Hell-like place is fairly obscure and that Satan was primarily the role played in Job rather than a competitor to Hashem like in Christian mythology.
Are Hell and Satan concepts that figure into traditional beliefs or have they seeped in because America?
