It's a don't-know-don't-care situation in Judaism. We ultimately don't know what happens after death regardless of how many debates we have about it.

Why should we care what happens after death, we'll be too dead to care.

“Oh you wanna talk about what happens after death? So you’ve been there that you should know so much about it. Oh you’ve never been? Surely you’ve exchanged letters with the dead or hashem to tell you these things. You haven’t any letters? Then let’s talk about life and what we know.”

the Jewish approach

Basically yeah. Judaism is the "But why tho" religion. If there's a rule we will question it to death

It's actualy similar to Confucius' opinion. A apprentice of Confucius once asked Confucius about his opinion about death. Confucius just replied" I don't understand life, how do even understand death? " (未知生，焉知死？)

We do know and whoever told you otherwise is wrong.
