משנה מסכת אבות פרק ה:יח
One who causes the community to be meritorious, no sin will come by that person's hand. One who causes the community to sin, is not given the opportunity to repent. [Translation by chabad.org. Edited for gender neutrality]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. How does one cause a community to merit? How does one cause a community to sin?
2. Why are these actions more severe when you lead others to do them instead of only doing them yourself?
3. What are the benefits of leadership? What are the risks?
Time Period: Rabbinic (Maccabees through the Talmud)
