A BIT MORE
1. Such people are judged to go to Gehinom for twelve months, after which their bodies are destroyed, their souls are burned and the ashes are scattered under the feet of the righteous.
2. They include (for example) heretics, people who do not believe in Hashem, and people who constantly cause others to sin.
3. For Jews, this includes a man who never put on Tefilin. For Nochrim (and Jews), this includes people who have illicit relations.
