Do Jews pray for the Dead? Why?
If Jews pray for the dead, what will that do?
For the living know that they will die;
But the dead know nothing,
And they have no more reward,
For the memory of them is forgotten.
Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished;
Nevermore will they have a share
In anything done under the sun. ~ Ecclesiastes 9:5-6
1 - The dead know nothing.
2 - Nevermore will they have a share
In anything done under the sun.
In fact, communicating with the dead is strictly forbidden in the Bible…
A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them ~ Leviticus 20:27
Bible? ignance fail

Yes Judas Maccabees did read 2 Maccabees13: 38-44. It will be in the Catholic version of the Bible.
Verse 43 He then took up a collection among his soldiers, amounting to two thousand silver drachmas, which he sent to Jerusalem to provide for an expiratory sacrifice. In doing this he acted in a very excellent and noble way, inasmuch as he had the resurrection of the dead in view. 44 for if he were not expecting the fallen to rise again, it would have been useless and foolish to pray for them in death. Besides praying for the dead is not communicating with the dead it is communicating with God. Also the books of Maccabees is about the Maccabean revolt and why the Jewish people celebrate Hanuka.

According to the Latin Vulgate praying for the dead is in scripture. It originally was a Jewish custom to pray for the dead to ease their suffering in the after life. And Protestants always misinterpreted scripture. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 is speaking about the souls in hell (Sheol) that are dammed. For anyone in hell does not have life within themselves (God) are dead.
Wait your Protestant Bible does not have this Book.
2 Maccabees 13:42-46
Turning to supplication, they prayed that the sinful deed might be fully blotted out. The noble Judas warned the soldiers to keep themselves free from sin, for they had seen with their own eyes what had happened because of the sin of those who had fallen.
He then took up a collection among all his soldiers, amounting to two thousand silver drachmas, which he sent to Jerusalem to provide for an expiatory sacrifice. In doing this he acted in a very excellent and noble way, inasmuch as he had the resurrection of the dead in view;
for if he were not expecting the fallen to rise again, it would have been useless and foolish to pray for them in death.
But if he did this with a view to the splendid reward that awaits those who had gone to rest in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought.
Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be freed from this sin.

Jews do pray for the soul of the dead. They are not praying TO the dead or seeking to communicate with the dead at all. They do not have a share under the sun until the resurrection and judgement.
At 4 different holy days the Yizkor Memorial prayer is recited, asking G-d to remember the beloved deceased and bind that soul up in the bond of life with the patriarches and matriarches and all the righteous.
Many Jews do good deeds (mitzvot) in memory of and for the benefit of the soul of their departed loved ones, so that the souls of loved ones may derive benefit from the righteousness that is earned from such acts and raise their place in the Heavens.
Some Jews light memorial candles in remembrance. Many will say special prayers at the Yahzreit, the anniversary of death. Many will pray upon visiting the grave.
Jews also believe that this world is a doorway to the next world, the World to Come, Haba Olam. They believe the soul not only survives death, but goes on to thrive and flourish in the spiritual world.
Of course, not all Jews everywhere believe exactly the same things, but these things are, in general, accepted as Jewish beliefs.
