The nefesh, the lowest part of the soul, is only taken by the angel of death. The neshamah departs with a kiss and is taken away by Gabriel and is not exposed to sin and chastisement. Instead the neshamah is taken to the 'treasury' beneath the throne of glory where it stays until the resurrection. The soul as it departs from the body, is greeted by relatives and friends who are already in the Next World. If the soul has been sent to Gehinnom, then only the wicked of them appear before him and bemoan his fate. When the soul has been noble and good, then the welcoming spirits celebrate his/her destiny in the Garden of Eden.
