The Korach Rebellion (part 2); course wrap-up

This is our final session in this series.

We will continue our study of the Korach rebellion, focusing on the personalities of the leaders and trying to understand their motivations. We will also study the consequences/punishments that the participants in the rebellion received.

As throughout this series, our sources are from the Talmudic period. Please note that the first few sources that we will learn in this session were in the material posted for session 7, the remaining sources I have posted here for this session.

In the last part of this session, we will summarize and discuss the common threads that we have seen in the explanations of the sages of the Talmudic period (tannaim and amoraim) about the rebellions of  Yisrael in the desert, based on the narratives of Sefer Bemidbar.
