the Yetzer Hara, who blinds the eyes of the wise. Bnei Yisrael demanded 6 bamidbar
food which needed prior preparation and they had eaten as slaves, all
because they had fallen into the web of the Yetzer Hara.

“One aveirah leads to another.” At first, Bnei Yisrael requested physical
food. Once this desire took root in their hearts, they bewailed the
prohibition against certain relationships.

The Chida states that sharp foods arouse passions and strengthen the
sperm. Bnei Yisrael asked for garlic and onions in order to further arouse
their physical passions.

The Torah is the antidote against the wiles of the Yetzer Hara and all
physical lusts, as Hashem states, “I created the Yetzer Hara; I created
Torah as its antidote.” It is to a person’s benefit to immerse himself in the
study of mussar, and he should not be ashamed to ask for his friend’s
assistance in overcoming his passions.

“Moshe heard the people weeping by their
families”
(Bamidbar 11:10)
