[Avodah] Nesi'im Missing Yud

[Meir Rabi]

The Nesi'im lost a Yud as a signal of Gd's displeasure since they did not
participate as they ought to have in donating for the Mishkan.
Firstly, why was this not seen as a gesture of great support. I reckon most
fund collectors would be delighted to hear someone make such an offer.
Secondly, why were they "rewarded" by being the only named people to be
distinguished by having a particular item of the Mishkan identified as
theirs?
