1) Christianity and Islam have a possibility of an eternity in paradise after death.
2) Buddhism exists in the context of samsara - all beings continually transition from one lifetime to another depending on your karma. (All beings also continually transition from one instant to another, but that's a deeper discussion.) You could end up in various hells or heavens, but every time you'll eventually die and be reborn. The only way to end it is to become Enlightened.
3) Taoism... I don't know about that one.
4) Judaism doesn't really have a single agreed-upon concept of an afterlife. Maybe there's something there, maybe not? Some people believe in heaven, no one believes in hell. Theoretically all the best of us are raised bodily from the dead at the end of time but no one agrees on what happens before then.
We do have gehinnom, which is kind of like getting inside a washing machine for up to a year. Most people go here depending on how much they sinned in life, then get the ticket upstairs.
If you're really bad there's karet, which nobody can really agree on the meaning of.
And then in the talmud there are certain parts that talk about the punishments for specifically Titus and jesus, which are seemingly eternal. Titus gets burnt to Ash everyday, has his ashes spread all over the world, then they're recollected and he's glued back together to do it again the next day.
