A צדיק who was a תלמיד חכם and ירא שמים passed away and arrived at the gates of גן עדן, where he saw a lawyer also waiting to enter. They were each escorted to their quarters, but the צדיק couldn’t help but notice that the lawyer was assigned a luxurious mansion and he was given a simple abode. “How is this possible?” he asked the מלאך. The מלאך explained: “We have many רבנים and צדיקים here, but very few lawyers.”
