That actually depends who you ask, traditional Judaism does believe that we continue on after death, but there's no specific answer to what that means. but it's important to bare in mind that there is no "Jewish Hell" or "Jewish Heaven", and that we're always taught to focus on the immediate, physical world around us, rather than a hypothetical afterlife.
So I guess aside from each individual Jew, the answer is that we don't really know and we don't really worry about it.
Although, for clarity, there is belief in the coming of the messiah, but that isn't Jesus, he's considered one of the many false messiahs throughout history. That's less of an insult than you might think, there were a lot of them, and in order to be "the messiah" by messianic standards someone literally has to end all suffering in the world forever. And y'know, that sounds hard to do.
(And also they have to take us back home to Israel? Like, I've never been there myself, but I guess that's home for some reason?)
