### Part 1 — When a True Tzaddik Reveals Torah

- Scene 3 · LM II:57 §1 · paragraph §1.1
  - HE: דַּע, כְּשֶׁצַּדִּיק גָּדוֹל אֲמִתִּי מְגַלֶּה תּוֹרָה, חִדּוּשִׁים נִפְלָאִים וְנוֹרָאִים, הוּא טוֹבָה לְהַקְּטַנִּים בְּמַעֲלָה, שֶׁעַל־יְדֵי־זֶה נִתְגַּדֵּל הַקָּטָן בְּמַעֲלָה, שֶׁהַכֹּל רָצִים וּבָאִים אֵלָיו.
  - EN (our paraphrase): Know that when a great true tzaddik reveals Torah, wondrous and awesome new teachings, it is a kindness to those small in level: through it the small one grows in level, for everyone runs and comes to him.
- Scene 4 · LM II:57 §1, on Zevachim 116a · paragraph §1.2
  - HE: וְגַם בְּהַסִּטְרָא־אָחֳרָא נִתְגַּדֵּל אֶחָד עַל־יְדֵי־זֶה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁמָּצִינוּ בְּבִלְעָם, כְּשֶׁנָּתַן הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ אֶת הַתּוֹרָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, בָּאוּ כָּל הָאֻמּוֹת לְבִלְעָם.
  - EN (our paraphrase): And in the other side too one grows through it, as we find with Bilaam: when Hashem gave the Torah to Israel, all the nations came to Bilaam.
- Scene 5 · LM II:57 §1, on Tehillim 29:10–11 · paragraph §1.3
  - HE: נִמְצָא שֶׁעַל־יְדֵי נְתִינַת הַתּוֹרָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל נִתְגַּדֵּל בִּלְעָם, וּבָאוּ אֵלָיו כָּל הָעוֹלָם, וְהוּא עָמַד עַצְמוֹ עַל אֵיזֶה פָּסוּק וְאָמַר לָהֶם תּוֹרָה. כִּי אָז כְּשֶׁבָּאוּ אֵלָיו, שָׁאֲלוּ אוֹתוֹ מַה שֶּׁשָּׁאֲלוּ – ה' לַמַּבּוּל יָשָׁב, וְהוּא עָמַד עַל פָּסוּק, וְהֵשִׁיב לָהֶם: ה' עֹז וְכוּ'.
  - EN (our paraphrase): So through the giving of the Torah to Israel, Bilaam grew, and the whole world came to him, and he stood on some verse and said Torah to them. For when they came to him they asked what they asked, 'did Hashem sit enthroned at the flood?', and he stood on a verse and answered them: 'Hashem will give strength to His people'.
- Scene 6 · LM II:57 §1 · paragraph §1.4
  - HE: וְכֵן בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעַצְמָן שֶׁהֵם בִּקְדֻשָּׁה וְאֵינָם בָּאִים, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם, לְבִלְעָם וְכַיּוֹצֵא בּוֹ. אַךְ כְּשֶׁצַּדִּיק גָּדוֹל אֲמִתִּי מְגַלֶּה חִדּוּשִׁים, וְנַעֲשֶׂה רַעַשׁ גָּדוֹל, שֶׁזֶּה מְגַלֶּה חִדּוּשִׁים נוֹרָאִים כָּאֵלּוּ, אֲזַי כֻּלָּם מִתְקַבְּצִים וּבָאִים לְאֵיזֶה קָטָן בְּמַעֲלָה, וְנֶאֱסָפִים אֶצְלוֹ לִשְׁמֹעַ מִמֶּנּוּ, מֵחֲמַת הָרַעַשׁ שֶׁנַּעֲשֶׂה עַל־יְדֵי הַחִדּוּשִׁים שֶׁמְּגַלֶּה הַצַּדִּיק הַגָּדוֹל, וְהוּא עוֹמֵד עַצְמוֹ עַל אֵיזֶה פָּסוּק, וְאוֹמֵר לָהֶם מַה שֶּׁאוֹמֵר:
  - EN (our paraphrase): And so among Israel themselves, who are in holiness and do not, Heaven forbid, go to Bilaam and his like: when a great true tzaddik reveals new teachings and there is a great stir, that this one reveals such awesome teachings, then everyone gathers and comes to someone small in level, and they assemble by him to hear from him, because of the stir made by the great tzaddik's teachings; and he stands on some verse and tells them what he tells them.
