### Part 1 — The Danger of Fame and Leadership

- Scene 3 · LM II:18 §1 · paragraph §1.1
  - HE: סַכָּנָה גְּדוֹלָה לִהְיוֹת מְפֻרְסָם וּלְהַנְהִיג הָעוֹלָם. לָא מִבָּעֲיָא כְּשֶׁאֵינוֹ רָאוּי כְּלָל, וְלוֹבֵשׁ טַלִית שֶׁאֵינוֹ שֶׁלּוֹ, רַק אֲפִלּוּ עוֹבְדֵי הַשֵּׁם בֶּאֱמֶת, גְּדוֹלֵי הַדּוֹר, יֵשׁ עֲלֵיהֶם סַכָּנוֹת נוֹרָאוֹת בְּהַנְהָגַת הָעוֹלָם.
  - EN (our paraphrase): It is a great danger to be famous and to lead the world. Needless to say for one who is not fit at all, who wears a tallis that is not his own. But even true servants of Hashem, the great ones of the generation, face awesome dangers in leading the world.
- Scene 5 · LM II:18 §1 · paragraph §1.2
  - HE: כִּי אִישׁ פָּשׁוּט, רָחוֹק מְאֹד שֶׁיַּעֲבֹר עַל רְצִיחָה, אֲפִלּוּ אִם אֵינוֹ אִישׁ כָּשֵׁר, כִּי אֵין לוֹ תַּאֲוָה לָזֶה. וַאֲפִלּוּ כְּשֶׁמַּגִּיעַ, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, לְתַאֲוָה כָּזוֹ, רַחֲמָנָא לִצְלָן, אֵינוֹ בָּא לְיָדוֹ, וְיֵשׁ לוֹ כַּמָּה מְנִיעוֹת לָזֶה; וַאֲפִלּוּ אִם יַעֲבֹר, לֹא יַעֲבֹר כִּי־אִם לְעִתִּים רְחוֹקוֹת, וְקָרוֹב שֶׁלֹּא יַעֲבֹר רַק פַּעַם אַחַת כָּל יָמָיו.
  - EN (our paraphrase): For an ordinary person, even one who is not so upright, is very far from committing murder, because he has no desire for it. Even if, Heaven forbid, such a desire came to him, the chance would not come his way, and many obstacles would stop him. And even if he did transgress, it would be very rare, likely only once in his whole life.
- Scene 6 · LM II:18 §1 · paragraph §1.3
  - HE: אֲבָל בְּהַנְהָגַת הָעוֹלָם וּבְחִדּוּשִׁין דְּאוֹרַיְתָא שֶׁמְּחַדְּשִׁין, יְכוֹלִים לַעֲבֹר מַמָּשׁ גָנֹב וְנָאֹף וְרָצֹחַ בְּכָל פַּעַם, בְכָל רֶגַע, רַחֲמָנָא לִצְלָן:
  - EN (our paraphrase): But in leading the world, and in the new Torah insights that one originates, a person can actually transgress theft, immorality and murder, every time, at every moment. May the Merciful One save us.
