Life on earth is the place to do the mitzvos (God's commands) while the soul is still inside the body and has free-will. The afterlife is not a time of free-will and it is too late to decide to suddenly start doing God's commands.

Judaism on the whole teaches that we should focus on this life rather than on the world to come, and Jews are frequently puzzled by the way Christians seem to obsess on Heaven, Hell and some kind of salvation in the afterlife. This means that, in general, regardless of the stream of Judaism from which a person comes, privately held beliefs about the world to come are not seen as crucial. Reform Jews generally tend to take what the tradition says as more likely to be allegoric than factual, but like other Jews, individual beliefs range from skepticism to firm belief that there is an afterlife.
