Are Jews below 20 judged differently then Jews above age 20? I know there is a question posted on this site whether or not punishment starts in shamayim below age 20, but I want to know specifically about the Rosh Hashanah trial. Cite sources please. Thanks!

Why would you think those under 20 years old would be tried on Rosh HaShanah? Isn't it clear from the sources that people under 20 are not punished by Shamayim? – ezra Aug 16 '18 at 03:36

1The midrashim say אין ב"ד של מעלה מענשין, specifically punish. Maybe there's a judgement, ie: not death or life but non punishment things like how much money they'll get. Anyways most of the sources I saw specifically applied it to kares. Health for the upcoming year might not apply. @ezra. Also most achronim I saw further limit the scope of this concept, as brought elsewhere on this site. – robev Aug 16 '18 at 04:02
