Not for doing that but they would probably burn in the stomache!

It doesn't matter what you eat, even Kosher meat products are not as Kosher as one may believe. "EARTHLINGS" is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and ... all » scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby. I included Parts 1,2, and 3. I recommend viewing #1 if your interested in viewing of where your Kosher beef and cheesburgers come from. This is the complete five part version.

This question has quite a few problems. #1 - A burger isn't inherently unkosher. It is the way the animal is slaughtered and processed that makes it kosher or unkosher (with the notable exception of pork/pig). Cheeseburger would be unkosher by strict observance because it brings dairy and meat together at the same time (see comments). #2 - Judaism isn't a religion focused on the afterlife, as is Christianity. It isn't focused on reward or punishment in the afterlife. It is focused on how to live by Yahweh's law in THIS life. Therefore, whether or not you eat unkosher food isn't about what happens to you after you die, it is about your relationship with Yahweh while you are alive. #3 - Judaism does not share the same ideas about the afterlife as does Christianity. Sorry, it just doesn't. The concept of the firey pit of Hell is Christian, not Jewish. http://www.faqs.org/faqs/judaism/FAQ/06-Jewish-Thought/section-9.html So, no, they wouldn't.

Judaism really isn't into the "burning in Hell" thing. We believe that after this life, your soul gets exposed to G-d's truth. If you have lived your life according to His will, that exposure is a very pleasant experience, which people like to call Heaven. If you have not lived your life according to His will, you undergo a period of burning shame (that's why people associate hell with fire). This is a short-term experience, until you are allowed access to Heaven. Judaism believes that only the worst of villians (the Hitlers of history) burn in Hell eternally.
