In this session we will move along, following the narrative of Sefer Bemidbar, to the first two explicitly documented incidents in which Bnei Yisrael acted rebelliously: תבערה (Tav’era) and קברות התאוה (Kivrot haTaava). Both incidents are named after the places where they happened, and the names themselves refer to the punishment, or consequence, that followed the errant behavior of Bnei Yisrael.
We will learn and discuss midrashim that suggest answers to the questions: Who was involved in the incident? What brought the people to act in the way they did? How could they do it, after all the wonderful things that they’ve been through and been given by G-d?
For your convenience I have posted sources here.
