R' Micha Berger asked:
<I never got this, since a person is judged upon petirah for olam
haba.What does having a fate sealed in olam haba between YK and death
<mean?

A number of acharonim(the Gra, R' Aharon Kotler, and others) explain
Tosafos as follows. Chayei Olam Haba means spirituality in this world.
Torah and mitzvos is Chayei Olam Haba. Every year there is a din on
how much help (or harm) a person will get in ruchniyos.
