I’m Jewish but I like the Christian doctrine of Universal Reconciliation. Have any Jewish scholars endorsed that view in the context of Judaism?
For those who are unfamiliar, [universal reconciliation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_reconciliation) (or universalism for short) is the belief that all souls will ultimately be reconciled with God. There’s something about this idea that really resonates with me, but I was curious if this conflicted with Jewish teachings.
(Just to be clear, I’m only talking about the reconciliation with God part, **not** reconciliation through Jesus or any of that stuff.)
My present understanding of Jewish eschatology is that all righteous people (of any religion) will have a place in the world to come. This seems to be different from universalism, but I could reconcile these views with an additional belief: that God will ultimately lead all souls to righteousness. This would imply that all souls will be reconciled with God in the world to come, since everyone will ultimately achieve righteousness.
Are there Jews who advocate this kind of universalist outlook? Have any Jewish scholars endorsed this view?
Unfortunately, there is nothing biblical or Christian about Universal Reconciliation, no matter how many famous people may have endorsed it. It may be embraced by some segments of Reformed Judaism but I am seriously doubtful that it would be embraced in Conservative or Orthodox circles.
