'''Olam Haba''' (The World to Come) is a term for the period of reward that comes after the service in this world. There are two interpretations of what constitutes Olam Haba: According to Rambam, Olam Haba is Gan Eden (Paradise), the world of souls, and the ultimate reward is for souls without bodies. According to Ramban, Olam Haba is the world of resurrection, and the ultimate reward will be for souls that remain in bodies and live eternal lives. According to all opinions, Olam Haba is completely different from this world in that there is no eating, drinking, or physical bodily needs as in this world. Chassidic teachings decide in favor of Ramban's view, that Olam Haba is the world of resurrection; although sometimes the term "Olam Haba" is used in relation to Gan Eden.
