One thing that puzzles me is the Jewish concept of Hell, demons, angels isn't really well defined until after the Exile, i.e. after the exposure to Zoroastrianism I don't think Jews have a concept of hell that is in any way comparable to the Christian concept of it. Who's to "preside" there given that Jews don't believe in the devil?

Are you thinking about present day Jews? I believe the Jews of the OT certainly knew about the devil. They had the book of Job, right? Just who do you think it was talking about?
