The deadline for Religion Calendar submissions is noon Monday for Saturday publication. Addresses are in Little Rock unless otherwise indicated. Items must have an address and a phone number and be open to the public. To submit a news release, fax (501) 372-4765 or e-mail the information to rward@arkansasonline.comBET YOU DIDN'T KNOW Orthodox Jews believe in bodily resurrection and a physical afterlife, which will occur
upon the coming of
the Messiah. In the
meantime righteous souls enjoy the pleasures of olam
ha'bah or "the world to come," which has a
Garden of Eden-like
quality. The wicked suffer in the fiery pits of Gehenna.
