T18 (Tinyana) PNC - Sakanah Gedolah LeHispar'sem (Great Danger to Be Famous)

There is great danger in being famous and in leading the world — not only when one is wholly unworthy and wears a tallit not his own (the false mefursam), but even servants of HaShem in truth, true greats of the generation, have terrible dangers in leading the world. The danger does not end at sincerity; it extends through every stage of public visibility. Even authentic leaders walk a knife's edge above an abyss.
