In the beginning of the year, a person is judged according to his actions, and he is sentenced how much Torah he will learn at this time.

Hence, if his actions in the beginning of the year were righteous, he is allotted much rain. Afterward, they reverted from their way, meaning he sinned, and then he is considered wicked (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 883, “For Man Is the Tree of the Field – 1”).

On Rosh HaShanah, at the beginning of the year, it is determined who among the people will be righteous and who will be wicked.

Question: How can we always be righteous to receive a good fate?

Answer: Consider all your friends as righteous except yourself. That way, you will never be mistaken.

Question: If my friends are righteous and I am wicked, then who is a “whole man”?

Answer: Let everyone see themselves as wicked and strive to rise from this state to draw closer to the Creator and justify Him. That is the best approach.
